August 21, It’s hot in the tent




We put the tent away dryer then when we set it up and headed to the Natural Bridge. This may be the most bizarre place and mixture of attractions you get with one ticket. The Natural Bridge was really beautiful and serene. I am so happy to have seen it and been able to walk along its path. We did however feel it would be better if the price was lower and not all the attractions had to be visited. The small Indian Village was nice for people who have never experienced one and the natural sites were nice. The random toy museum, was museum and was factory tour were not only random but also had some creepy elements. I am glad to have seen them only to say I have been there. I understand trying to act upon the crowd the bridge draws in but I do not know if it really fit.

After our disbelief of randomness and the price we headed to Waffle House in Lexington, VA to give Tes another first time experience. After breakfast for lunch we walked around the absolutely gorgeous town of Lexington. We toured “Stonewall” Jackson’s home, saw some of the campus of the Virginia Military Academy and Washington and Lee, Victorian Homes, Antebellum Homes, and much more. We both loved this small beautiful town.

Leaving Lexington on U.S 60 we wound are way through the mountains to Richmond. Due to time we did a quick drive through stopping in a gorgeous park, driving through the artsy end as well as the partly cobblestoned downtown and restaurant district. Seems like a beautiful city.

The night ended with a swim in the campgrounds pool, view of the lake, and a few games on Tes’s iPhone. Not too shabby.
