This past weekend (Sunday afternoon - Monday evening to be exact) Rob and I were blessed with the opportunity to get away to a river house on the Potomac river in West Virginia! It was fabulous! On the way we drove a scenic covered bridge tour and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the bridges (there were three), and all the beautiful fall colors and lovely landscape. After the bridge tour we took another scenic route through the Cocatin Mountains to get to Hagerstown, where a great outlet mall is! The drive was unbelievable...the colors were just breathtaking! We felt like we were basking in God's glory the whole drive!
Overall the quick retreat was much needed and greatly appreciated and enjoyed! This is just another example of the Lord's kindness and generosity towards us that we don't deserve...we are so grateful!
The first bridge...Utica Road I believe it was. There was a gorgeous house right before it too.
We were turning around to stop at an antique shop...this is what we saw.We thought is was pretty funny even though we weren't sure what it meant!
We also stopped to read the grave stones at this old cemetary next to a Lutheran church.
Many of the stones dated back to the early and middle 1800's.
The 2nd bridge...it was next to a great park and over a lovely creek.

This is the river house that sits above the Potomac River just inside WV. It isa great house! In the basement they have a ping-pong table, pool table, foosball, and air hockey! We had a blast! We kept wishing all our family was there too! It's a great place for a big family vacation!
