And now, the pictures that accompany my last post (it was getting so long, I didn't want to add anything to it)...

The vacation hovel in WV (that's me and AS on the porch!):


A shrine to the victims of the mining disaster:


Random beautiful hills in WV:


A view from Skyline Drive, VA:


A fearless deer on Skyline:


Part of the fancy hotel suite in DC (one of the only pics we got in the city, LOL):


Chesapeake Beach, MD (a view of our hotel from the pier):


Random statues at night in Annapolis near a temporary boat show (none of our other pics from Annapolis really came out, so here you go):


Skyline of Baltimore, MD:


View of Fells Point, a picturesque neighborhood of Baltimore, from the water taxi:


A church in Baltimore:


A closer look at Fells Point:


There were so many things I didn't get a picture of, because sometimes when I'm really drinking something in, the last thing I think to do is get out my camera. But this is a pretty good sampling of our trip, I think.

    Lovely picture of the WV hills and the color is coming up on the leaves. One of my favorite TV shows was about Ballmer - Homicide: Life on the Street, so I recognized the Fells Point pic.
    Sounds and looks like you had a great trip!

    Wow, what a great trip! Love the fact that you were able to go from rural to urban all in the same trip! And I vacationed in a similar hovel though ours was the family homestead farmhouse in Michigan and there weren't any mountains!

    I love West Virginia...prettiest state I have ever been to.

    My dad always pronounces it "Ballmer" too!

    You should have seen some of the WV mountains we drove over--absolutely breathtaking views of the colors, but we were on precarious, steep 2-lane roads with no shoulder, so I couldn't stop and get a picture.

    I would absolutely recommend any of the places we visited--they all had great, unique qualities, and I was glad I got to have so many contrasting experiences, because it played up all the different high points of each place.

    Gamecock, I agree. Though I've become very much a city girl in temperament, I still love the country, and WV has my kind of landscape--dramatic rolling hills, mountains and valleys, coated in trees, dotted with barns, animals and fences.
