Picture Perfect

When we took our recent road trip to Blue Ridge Parkway in October, the beauty of Autumn that you see in those colored trees was not the only thing that amazed me. The many tunnels that we passed through was unbelievable. I think there were ten or more of them – the first time that I have seen so many.

And they are not just tunnels. They are created in such a beautiful way, blending in with the topography and I do wonder how they did that. They probably had to use numerous welding supplies plus a bountiful energy of manpower to finish those. There were short ones, and there were also long ones which echoed whenever you passed through them. That was really amazing. I do hope we will be able to visit again in the future.

This map can be seen at the first overlook of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I don’t know how many years has it been there, but just by looking at it, you can tell that it has been there for years. But though it looks old, you can still read the map which my husband and son did. I only looked at it for a while because I was busy taking photos.

I think my photo didn’t do justice, huh? I’m sorry about that. It would have been nice if I was using a DSLR camera. Don’t worry, I will go back there once I get me one. (“,)

See the clouds? Yep, they are not fog anymore because by this time, we were already in the higher elevation which was about 6,000 plus feet. It was really awesome! I was in awe of the beauty of nature, but I was also a little scared because at the left side of the road is already a cliff. The speed limit is around 30 only though, but still, we do know accidents can happen anytime.

There were a lot of tourists that time.

And you can’t really go pass any vehicle so you have to tag along which is the best way to do it actually because you get to embrace the beauty that surrounds you.

I do hope we get to visit the place again in the future. Maybe when I already got me a super nice camera. The photos would really be great then!

I had been talking about the trip that we had to this tourist destination high above the mountains where the beauty it possesses was just overwhelming. And during that trip, one thing that caught my attention were those rock formations beside the road which are simply awesome, as well as those bikers that were flying. There were a lot of them and the sound of their bikes roared like we were in a cave. I like the sound, though it did kind of destroy the serenity that the place was supposed too have.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed the beauty of nature as well as the people that we saw there. All of us had one thing in mind – to enjoy the beauty God made.

See those rocks and those bikers? They’re both rockin! (“,)

As promised, here’s another photo that I’ve taken when we visited one of the tourist spots here in the city, Blue Ridge Parkway. Look at those lovely colors. Isn’t that beautiful? I can’t stop myself from taking photos because they were just so awesome.

We were still in the lower elevation at this time, about a thousand feet. How I wished I had a DSLR camera when we went there and for certain, the photos would have been more sharp and lovely. Well, I will just go back there when I already have my dream camera. Not bad eh!

Our neighbor, Heather together with her family are going on vacation next week. I found out about it last week when she dropped by here at home and told me about it. They are going to one of the beaches of South Carolina. I’ve heard of the place many times because it is known as one of the most visited vacation spots.

We may visit the place someday. I am not really a beach person, but I am more wanting to see the place and I also want to know what made the place famous.

They will be leaving this weekend and she is now busy preparing for what they need including the details about the emergency roadside assistance that they may need. I know for sure they will have a blast!

Two months more to go and my son and I will have our first ever road trip here in the U.S. We are going to Virginia and Washington, D.C. to attend my alma mater’s reunion. It will be our first out-of-state trip and I am really getting giddy about it.

The husband will be the one driving and how I wish we had our own RV to take, but we don‘t. Still, it is in my dream to have one even if the insurance rates are high. I do believe there is still affordable rv insurance to be found.

Well, I don’t have the RV yet and here I am worrying about the insurance. I think the best thing for me to do is cross that bridge when I get there.
