Virginia!

At breakfast this morning, Erica and I had a great conversation with Melissa, the B&B owner. She told us about her daughter, Savannah, who is fighting leukemia. She has a website you can go to if you would like to hear more about her story. Melissa shared with us some of her life history and how God has impacted her throughout the years. It was great hearing about her walk with God and how He has shown Himself to her.

Erica and I, then, packed up the car and headed towards Virginia! The state was crazy beautiful! I believe we used the words "quaint" and "cute" a lot. The scenery was unbelievable. The hills rolled with light green grass and contrasted to dark green trees. There were little red farms dotted along the landscape. Black and white cows chewed on grass and created the finishing touches to a gorgeous scenery.

We drove to Kara's, my former Focus on the Family Institute roommate, mom's shop in a farmers market. There were so many cute stores there. We wanted to shop right then! Haha. However, it was closed.

Dinner was coming up, so we followed Kara to a restaurant called, Francesco's. It was an Italian place. Erica had cannelloni. It was delicious! We enjoyed the atmosphere and left feeling very content.

Kara then led us to her house. It was so pretty! Some of the house was 100 years old and the other part was 200 years old. The outside was covered in red brick with a beautiful porch as an accessory.

We drove up a hill on Kara's property and saw the vastness of Virginia. The Blue Ridge Mountains were in full view and actually seemed blue as the sun started to set. It was magical. God sure is creative and amazing. On the way back, Kara's dog drove us. She's learning how to drive. ;)

We had a very cool, icy dessert called strawberry cloud. Kara's mom had made it. So good! Erica and I were pretty exhausted, so we went to bed early. We were so thankful for the restful, beautiful stop in Virginia. Thank you, Kara's family!
