What to write...that is the question.

I was looking over the 400 or so pictures from the last week and I just can't decide what to write about!  After we left Greensboro, we drove up I-81 from the NC border into Virginia.  We took it to Staunton, VA then veered NW to visit Joss' Aunt Anne and uncle Dennis (Nana's other brother, Larry being the first we visited oh so many miles ago in Oregon).  Dennis and Anne live on a gorgeous farm in the Shenandoah Valley, just north of Buffalo Gap.  We had THE BEST view of our trip so far out our trailer windows while parked in their driveway.  

It was almost sunset when we took this picture so the quality isn't the best, but you can see the beautiful pond (lake?) that their house overlooks.  

While there, we fed chickens, Pedro the donkey, the horses, four dogs and several cats (I was never sure how many there were exactly).  We got to visit with cousin Alex, his wife Jakki and their son Ethan.  We went to Jakki's parents farm and the boys got to ride ponies.  We ate pizza and ice cream in downtown and historic Staunton.  We took exhilarating rides in the 1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster Uncle Dennis and Alex are restoring.  We ate delicious home cooked meals in the gazebo overlooking the lake (pond?). 

We were only there for 3 days but we packed a week's worth of activities, often not getting the boys to bed before 11pm!  We had a reservation in Asheville, North Carolina for the 21st of June, but we pushed it out a day so we could visit longer with family.  

On the 22nd, we finally left the farm at 1:30pm and started for Asheville.  It was a relatively easy drive down the Interstates but it was long, about 340 miles.  We pulled in to our campsite in East Asheville at 9:30 pm (yes we travel slow, between $150 fill-ups, potty stops and pulling 15,000 pounds over the mountains we're taken our time).  

We've been in Asheville for a week now.  Our friends Leanne and her daughter Kendra flew in from California to stay with us for a week on Wednesday.  We have met up with our new friends, Gail, Ben and son Henry, whom we met in Charleston, SC a month or so ago.  We had a birthday party (the third!) for Sawyer on Friday at "the Fun Depot".  It's an indoor fun center with games, mini golf, bumper cars, go-karts, laser tag...we did it all!

We'll that's the latest, we'll of course have bunches of pictures to post on our site as soon as we recuperate from all this fun!
