We left our family in Virginia this morning. It was a wonderful stay and we were sad to leave. Today is a very rainy, dark day. At first we wondered if we were going to have to deal with ice, but the temperature, which is only about 34, is just high enough to keep the roads ok. We just passed through a very beautiful section of the country. We weren’t able to get any pictures that depicted it very well, so I’ll just have to try to describe it. It was super foggy, but what we could see was so amazing. There was snow on the ground and a heavy fog hung over everything. The trees, which by now have mostly lost all their leaves, were covered in ice. Huge icicles were dripping down the rock faces and it looked like all the mini waterfalls had frozen in place. It was stunning.
