I know the best time to visit the Shenandoah is fall time, when the mountains are a brilliant red and orange, but I think spring time with wild flowers is also ideal. Since Luray Caverns happens to be just outside the valley a bit, we decide to picnic in the Blue Ridge for an hour or so. In my mind I had a nice meadow field pictured with a picnic blanket involved. However, right when we got in the car Evelyn fell asleep. Jared and I ended up pulling over on a lookout and just camped out on a wall admiring the vastness before us. I think that was the first time we were able to eat in peace and quiet for a very very long time. We got to hold hands, eat many chipsahoys, and one of us even did a back flip and almost slid off the cliff. As we made our way back down the mountain, Evy Rae awoke chipper and we stopped at a small ice cream stand to get some cones. That was the best darn soft serve I have ever had!
P.S. Jared makes fun of my belly hold because I don't frame it well and I'll admit that it looks super goofy in that pic. Oh well.
Oh, this made me miss the mountains so so much. My family and I used to vacation to The Blue Ridge Mountains all the time when I was little. I need to get back there soon!
