Family Farm
For our last full day of West Virginia family vacation, we had a nice chill morning and early afternoon at home.
Coal Miners
We started the morning with a visit from family during breakfast time. Then once we finally got moving, we drove an hour from Hinton to Beckley to visit some other family members. And while we were in their town, we visited the coal miners exhibition, which was super neat.
Pipestem Park
Well, after some minor car trouble in the downtown Hinton gas station this morning (that took about 2 hours total, but luckily Jeff figured it out and praise the Lord it only cost $8 to fix and the local auto shop had the part we needed 🙌🏼), we finally made our way to Pipestem State Park.
Sandstone Falls
Today was a big adventure day, going to the Sandstone Falls, which is part of the New River Gorge National River. There’s a nice little parking area, and an easy hike down a well-maintained wooden boardwalk, with lots of natural trail offshoots. There are also multiple viewing areas from a few different levels, and it was so cool!
Wild and Wonderful West Virginia
Started out the morning with some McDonald’s breakfast in the hotel room, before packing up the cars. The boys came to join us on this trip, so once they were dropped off and their bags shoved in the last remaining inch of space, we set off for the relatively short trip from Rock Hill, SC to the mountains of West Virginia!

High School Graduates
Today was the big day – high school graduation for my twin stepsons Ryan and Gabe! They had a graduating class of about 450, but they ran a tight ship, and the surprisingly quick ceremony only lasted about an hour and 15 minutes.
