On our way to Washington, D.C. on a family vacation, we took the longer, scenic route through the mountains.
We discovered a beautiful resort along the way that had both history and mystery nestled in the hills of West Virginia.

It’s also the site of a former top-secret bunker.

I have a friend who is great making family traditions for holidays (even those lame Hallmark ones.) April Fool’s Day is even a big deal in her family!
Just ask the friend who ate a chocolate gnash covered cotton ball while visiting.
(I’ll admit that one was a pretty good prank)
She inspires me to put effort and details to create memories and traditions for my family.
So this year I thought I would try to make Valentine’s Day a little more special. I missed the mark and that’s ok. My perfect day had more of the elements of a drama and endings of a romantic comedy.

This winter has been unseasonably warm so attempting to try snowshoeing has been hit and miss all season. I’ve been able to try snowshoeing a few times this winter when we have gotten snow.
