Country Road, Take Me Home

Road tripping is superb fun! It's the closest I can get to a carefree, hippie life. Speeding down the legendary American highways and interstates, getting lost (yes that's possible even with a map and GPS), choosing which fast food joint to refuel (we were on this insane quest to find a Wendy's) and even mundane things like pumping gas becomes a novelty.

I admit my deliriousness was because I cannot in my wildest dream believe that I'm living a song! A Guides song that I always sing (but honestly, never really liked) but somehow it got wired into my brain so yes, that's the inspiration for this trip!

"Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze..."
- John Denver

Ok, here goes my gazillion of pics! Nature provides the best backdrop!

Very deep in thought...

A car to match its driver (passenger)!

A very pretty highway. Blessed with good weather :)


Wendy looks adorably like Anne of Green Gables with her red hair and freckled cheeks! Maybe that's why I like it so much.

The north entrance to the Skyline Drive - one of the most picturesque routes in the country.

The Blue Ride Mountains are part of the Appalachian Mountain Range where its watershed marks the boundaries of the Shenandoah Valley. Confusing huh? Took quite long to match the places to the names.

It may not be spring but summer brings with it lots of wildflowers.


The park has several overlooks which allow cars convenient picture stops. I believe there are more than 50 stops so discretion must be exercised! I did some research on which overlooks have the best views but that did not prevent us from stopping at a whim.



Shout. out. LOUD!
