Spring Break in Virginia- friends

For spring break this year, we took an amazing family trip to Virginia and Washington DC. I figure we will only be within a days drive for a short time, so we better take advantage of it! So we used our exchange certificate from RCI and booked Massanutten Resort in Virginia (near Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley). With the several rec centers with pools, playgrounds, and of course the indoor water park (we went there later in the week), we had an amazing time.

I loved the drive down to the Shenandoah Valley- after a night in Columbus, OH with my sister's family, we drove down into West Virginia and then into Virginia. It was GORGEOUS. As we went south, spring was also more evident with flowering trees and a bit more green. Michigan was still pretty wintery that first week of April (even now the leaves are JUST starting to peek out- and it is only a few days from May!), so it was awesome to be where it was a little farther ahead in the season. We listened to General Conference using Jon's iphone on the drive.

Sunday we listened to conference and hung out at the resort. Mostly, we spent time with some friends of ours from when I worked in Florida 14 years ago!! My old roommate Courtney and my friend Chris, who are married and have two fun boys drove over from Richmond, VA so we could visit. I hadn't seen them in over a decade . . . so it was super fun to catch up.
