In Virginia Again

We are back in Virginia from our trip to Fontana. It ended up being a 10 hour drive!! Actually it wasn't to bad because River traveled so well. He hasn't really been his best this whole trip, but when we need him to behave the most he has come through for us! We stayed in a nice 3 bedroom cabin, right in the middle of the Smokey Mountains. Very beautiful. We enjoyed being there and the highlight of the trip was the day Art (Brian's step Dad) rented a pontoon boat for the day. We jumped off the boat into the most perfect lake water! The water temperature was just perfect enough to cool you down with out being too cold. The water was deep, clear and a gorgeous blue-green color. The view from on the water looking to the shore was fabulous. Brian took River out on the "tube" a few times and each time he settled in and FELL ASLEEP! Everyone was amazed at how quickly and easily he fell asleep right there on the tube being pulled around a lake. He would have easily spent the day sleeping on it, but Daddy can only hold on for so long.

When we came back we stepped out of the car into the most hot, humid weather I ever want to experience. I know that this type of weather is normal for a good part of the East Coast, but for me it is just too HOT! Even Brian thought so. We spent the evening indoors and will spend the rest of today inside.

Tomorrow we will leave for home. Our flight leaves at 6 am and we arrive about 11. We will get our dogs and get back to the grindstone of regular life.
