an appetizing, stimulating tonic.

Ahhh, so thats what Blatz is good for..

out and about

Louie loves taking Evie for a walk.

hello!

 

Last weekend we headed out to Front Royal, VA for an impromptu mini vacation to hike at the Shenandoah National Park.
It's a 106 mile National Park in the Appalachian Mountains. Here's a pic to give you a better idea of where it is.....in the northwest corner of Virginia.


On the way we saw a Dinosaur park by the side of the road. We had to stop. Evie actually really likes dinosaurs. She got a biting plastic TRex and a lollypop, so was pretty much in heaven the rest of the drive.





First thing when we arrived was a pizza stop for lunch.

Then it was off to the mountains for hiking....




During our picnic, we had to get a nice pic of our kids. Louie, of course, had a blast hiking and eating junk food all weekend.

foggy view from the overlook...

some flowers we saw on our paths

they were trying to get these dogs to hold still for a picture with the mountains behind them...it was pretty funny.

Icky Millipede

Ah, Virginia


Virginia is also for tired Lou dogs after a fun weekend of hiking.

OK, no more pics, Evie. You were a great girl this weekend. Now take a well-deserved nap :)
