Few days away Lexington Va.

My sister and I took a trip to Rockbridge County Virgina for some Genealogical research.

We stayed in Natural Bridge Hotel one night.  

Picture taken from our balcony to across street where you would purchase tickets to take in Natural Bridge

I am glad prior to being sold that I was able to take in the "Drama of Creation" that was inaugurated by Calvin Coolidge in 1927.  A night time light show.  I asked at the desk about this and was told that it wasn't being held anymore.  But the website visitroanokeva.com/events/illumination-of-the-bridge/48618/  says other wise.    

The leaves had just started in some areas to change color and many dead leaves falling from trees. 

Warm Springs in Bath county not far away. 

Jefferson Pools have been restored and back in service.  Fed by Springs with temp 98 degrees F.  Loaded with minerals that are good for the  body.

Jefferson Pools in background restored.

Oakleaf Hydrangea

The trees have just started to turn in this area

Inside was this picture.  I like the Norman Rockwell style (it's what I call it anyway) I don't know who painted it. 

Sitting on this sweet little porch looking out to the valley

A drive around Millboro to see the area my gr and gr gr grandparents lived.  This had to be hard living in the early 1800's.  No roads, just cart paths and homes few and far between.  Freezing winters and miserable hot summers is what I was thinking while taking in this very pretty area.

Old Millboro church

Old steps leading to church.  This place is closed and no trespassing sign on door. 

This pumpkin was sitting on a table in records room.  It looks like lace is glued to it and then sprayed.

I thought it pretty. 

Til next time
