Vacation?
Foolishly I decided to take my four children and accompany my mother in-law to West Virginia for a week. It was interesting to see places that I had only heard about from my husband's childhood and to hear new twists on tales that he had shared. We trouped all over the country and saw endless supplies of wildlife. Everything was lovely up until the 6th day and that's when it all went to hell in a hand basket. My mother in-law turned into a monster. She started harrassing my biological daughter because the kids were just being kids as usual, fighting amongst themselves. Seriously, it was nothing major or out of the ordinary with my little troupe of circus stars. They had been stuck inside because of the rain, which in the end turned into flooding! On Tuesday we packed it in and decided to make the trek down the mountain (through the rain, no less) . I'm going to try to post a few of the picks. If you are ever in West Virginia you must check out Organ Cave. It's the third largest cave in the world and the tour guides really knew how to put on a good show. We experienced total darkness (well everyone except my mother in-law). It was totally awesome! The kids were terrified of "cave crickets" and warned not to touch the walls. Talk about a cool place to visit both literally and figuratively!!!!! The temp was a cool 38!!!!
