My mom came out in October to visit us and see Virginia for the first time. She came at the perfect time because all the leaves were changing and the fall colors were beautiful. We packed a lot into just a week, including driving 1400 miles! We had such a great time together just visiting and catching up. We started with a trip to the quaint little town of Bramwell, WV for their annual Octoberfest.
Deep fat fried Snickers - who knew! It was delicious.

The Breaks Interstate Park - just 15 miles from our house.
We drove to Lexington, KY to take a tour of horse farms which includes the Keenland Race Track. My mom was on cloud nine!
My mom getting to pet Tisnow - a horse that won the Breeders Cup. Tears came to her eyes and I was so glad that we were able to take the trip to KY and have life long memories.
Blue Ridge Parkway road - this is what we drove through for about 180 miles - beautiful country!
This barn is just down the road from Damon's old house in Crossnore, NC
Standing at Grandfather Mountain - just miles from Damon's old home in NC
Biltmore Estates, Ashville NC. We took a tour of the house and at dinner downtown. The mansion is amazing and it's crazy to think that people lived in this nice of a place in 1890's!
