We took a trip to Twin Lakes State Park to get a break from our routine and spend some time in the woods. We had a lot of fun hiking and relaxing around the cabin.

Smith Mountain Lake Vacation
We booked a cabin at Smith Mountain Lake State Park and rented a pontoon boat while we were visiting. We enjoyed using the boat–cruising, jumping off it, swimming, docking on a little beach, and tubing. We also hiked in the mornings and enjoyed biking around the cabin area. Alex celebrated his 6th birthday while we were on vacation. We all had a relaxing and enjoyable time!
Great Wolf Lodge
We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge when they were out of school for teacher workday. We had a great time as always!
Snowshoe Ski Trip
We went skiing in the West Virginia mountains this year at Snowshoe. The kids did a day of ski school to refresh their memory from last year and then they did a few runs on the bunny hill after school. The second day of skiing we all went together down the long green runs and everyone did great. We had a wonderful trip!
Charlottesville/Cabin Trip
Our planned trip to James River State Park to stay in a cabin for four nights over the kids break was canceled an hour before we supposed to leave due to the park closing for the foreseeable future. We acted fast and found that Douthat State Park was about to have us for two nights and we spent the first two in Charlottesville. We went apple picking at Carter’s Mountain Orchard and then hiked the Jefferson Trails on Saturday. Sunday we drove to Dauthat and hiked 2.5 miles on Beard’s Gap Trail to the top of the mountain before checking in. The next day we hiked Ross Camp Trail to Mountain Top Trail again to the top of the mountain past the overlook of Douthat lake and back again (mileage unknown). Then we relaxed around the cabin before having another fire outside at night and having to head back Tuesday morning. We enjoyed our time in the mountains!
