Weekend Fun!

So we have waited 2 years of living here before we started doing fun stuff on the weekends, well at least stuff we have wanted to do. We hiked up to Dragon's Tooth on the Appalachian Trail a few weekends ago and had a great time. It was a 5 mile hike and the last mile and a half had some pretty technical climbs (especially for 2 new virginia hikers). but we reached the top and had a fun time doing it. I was so proud of Sonya. She's not what I would call a "daredevil" but she was all over those rocks, despite the 2 snakes we saw!

A few weeks earlier we went looking for dragon's tooth but couldn't find it so we hike about 3 miles on the AT toward McAfee's Knob but it was a 7 mile hike and we hadn't planned on going that far, so we'll save it for another weekend.
Here we are at the top basically flossing the dragon's tooth!
And here's a another view! it was a bit cloudy but we could still see really far. it was really a great day for a hike.








I nearly lost my life but in the meantime sonya wanted a picture so she could commerate the moment she nearly cashed in on my large life insurance policy.


And finally, we had heard of a little place in Floyd, VA called the Floyd Country Store. It's 3 bucks for a cover charge and every friday night for a long time they have and have had Bluegrass music from all over play there. It was jam packed and then out of no where people would go up front and start clogging. I had brought my dancin' shoes but sonya didn't and the problem is that she has rhythm and I don't but God made up for my lack of rhythm by giving me heavenly dance moves and a personality that just doesn't care.


It was really impressive how on beat everyone would dance in their cloggin' shoes. at one point there were probably 50 people on the dance floor from age 3 to 80. I was glad to see some EMT's there because some of those old folks were really going to town. We ate dinner there and spent the whole night. it was about 30 min. away and only cost $20 for a night of fun. Just like the good ol' days. if anyone wants to come with us just let us know and come and visit on a friday night and we'll head on down to floyd virginia.
