Our family was able to go on vacation to West Virginia a week ago. The leaves were beautiful!
We stayed in the New River Gorge Bridge area, we saw the bridge from just about every angle!
The New River Gorge Bridge is the longest arch bridge in the
Western Hemisphere.
In these pictures you can not see how amazingly high this bridge is, you could put the Washington Monument and two Statue of Liberty's all on top of each other under this bridge and still have 20 feet left. Pretty tall!!
We took a gondola ride to the bottom and then got on a boat to ride up to the bridge.
We also enjoyed the Summersville Lake area, so beautiful.
I love the picture below, I'm sure H.O. is explaining something really important to the boys!

We spent a lot of time enjoying the river, climbing on rocks, and skipping rocks. How great and beautiful is God's creation!!
We also went to see a coal mine exhibition "town". It was set up as a coal town would of been in the 1930's. The buildings had been taken down from there original location, with each board numbered and reconstructed in this exhibition location. We enjoyed our day here.
I often hear from folks how far our country has gotten away from God. But, it was so evident at this exhibit. I was amazed each bed or kitchen table had an open Bible on it. In the school house "The Ten Commandments" were posted on the wall and a Bible was on the teachers desk. Those are concepts I can't imagine in my lifetime, I've never seen a school room with the ten commandments or had a teacher that had a Bible on her desk. How sad!

I love the picture below because of Andrew's face in the background, trying to be silly. Gotta love my Andrew!
We had a nice time enjoying God's creation in the fall. It is hard to believe we were enjoying temperatures in the upper 70's and just 2 days later Hurricane Sandy came through and dumped a foot of snow in this same spot!
