We took a family trip to Wintergreen, close to Charlottesville, Virginia. Rented a fairly large five bedroom home at the top of the mountain. The main purpose was to share some family time. Mission accomplished.
We took a few hiking trips. A short hike within Wintergreen, the Shamokin Springs Trail. Nice little waterfall at the end. We also went to Crabtree Falls and Humpback Rocks, both a short drive away. Both worthwhile. Crabtree Falls was especially nice, one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi.
We played tennis a few times. Nice. The kids played golf.
A few lessons learned.
- Should have more carefully planned out the meals I wanted to make. The quality would have been better.
- Could have planned out the sleeping arrangement a bit better. Not bad but could have been better.
- Should have taken a sleeping bag, extra blankets for myself. I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep in that tiny bed.
- Alway bring the Firestick! (kid saved the day).
