my mom has been in California for the past 6 weeks visiting her mom, and so when she returned on Thursday we decided to have some good family time this weekend. on Saturday we took a trip over to Lexington, VA to soak in some sun and get some history while we were at it. First we took a drive along the Maury River, stopping at Goshen Pass for a view of the gorge- it was beautiful!
after taking in the view we drove a little farther and found a nice spot to just relax by the river. we set up chairs, laid on the rocks, and stuck our feet in the water
some parts of the river were very shallow (like pictured above) and others had deep pools where you could stand probably up to your shoulders. next time we'll have to wear bathing suits and bring river shoes! as the evening approached we drove back to lexington to see "Stonewall Country" which was a play/musical event talking about the life of Stonewall Jackson. it was a bit hard to follow at times, but overall very entertaining and a lot of fun! (not to mention a great overall "country" experience) it took place in an outdoor amphitheater which was pretty cool
it was great to take advantage of the cooler temperatures and beautiful weather!
