Trip to WV and VA!

Oh, if only I had the time to write out all the stories to go with this small sampling of pictures from our trip to West Virginia! In a nutshell - It was such a pleasure to stay with Brent's grandma, Ellie Adkins, for a week! Then we went down to Virginia to see Bethany graduate from SVU. Yahoo! We really enjoyed meeting her awesome fiancée, Parker, and his fun family. We also took a trip to a few cemeteries in Virginia where some of Brent's ancestors are buried. Oh, oh.... if only I had more time to write!!! So many beautiful, special memories made in such a lovely part of the country! Ah…. 


The graduates - Bethany and Parker! 
Benjamin Darst's home that he built, right in the heart of Lexington. The cemetery (The Stonewall Jackson Cemetery) where he's buried is only blocks away!

Our cute kids with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson
A Virginia mansion - called, "Fancy Hill" - built by Brent's ancestors way back when
Ella loved meeting Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Pearl in West Virginia!  
We're just glad that mommy was very quick on her feet to rescue Ella when she fell down Grandma Ellie's long, steep stairs! Thankfully Mommy caught Ella just as she began to turn head over heals on her way down the stairs!
