We have Internet Access again...

Begin at the beginning… 

and go on till you come to the end: 

then stop.

I have some catching up to do - first we were busy with family and then we didn't have Internet access. So, I'll begin at the beginning:

We caught up with our oldest son and his family in Virginia. Sorry it's not the greatest picture.

We had a great time although it was very warm and we had some rain. The five grandchildren all enjoyed my Cricut Maker - they made shirts and more.

  

There was also zip lining, a climbing wall, bungee jumping, grass tubing, eating in, eating out, a farmers market, and visiting time. I even found myself on my iPad one day playing games online with them. It so hard not seeing them very often; I cherish our time together.

We left Virginia on Thursday morning and headed to Logan, Ohio, on mostly back roads. In Jerome, Virginia, we found this old gas station,

mountain views, 

and this gorgeous stone fence by a church. 

Just a couple of miles down the road, we found this old mill in Liberty Furnace, Virginia. 

We stayed in a great cabin near Logan, Ohio, in the Hocking Hills area. The driveway up to the cabin was very steep. We were very happy to be driving a Jeep.

Many roads around us were narrow; I loved the tree canopies.

We saw a few deer but just these two fawns. 

On Friday we did lots of hiking and saw some beautiful waterfalls. In between hikes, we had a fantastic lunch at Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ in Logan, Ohio.

Pretty waterfall

Saturday morning  we checked out a few shops and the Lily Fest in Rockbridge, Ohio (another post), Then we enjoyed a late lunch at Pizza Crossing in Logan. They told us it was the best pizza in Ohio – it was good! 

We backtracked to the Hocking Hills Market and Flea Market. There were all kinds of things and LOTS of people. 

Since we needed a couple things, we stopped by Weavers Store and Deli. Across the parking lot was Treetop Treasures. We were told they had good ice cream – they did! There was a Civil War Camp set up nearby but it was just too warm to spend much time there. 

Today we drove back roads to Bloomington, Indiana. I'm not sure what we'll do tomorrow. If the temperatures stay in the high 80's, I know we won't spend much time outside!
