Made the trip up to Maryland for Christmas with the kids and grands last weekend and had a wonderful time. Grand kids were wired of course and overdosed on gifts.
Everyone overdosed on good food and love.
We did take our dog Missy with us an she was a great traveler, but was part of a demonstration of canine dominance/submission experience with one of my son's dogs. A hundred pound chocolate lab in her later years just does not do well with an active, curious, border collie mix on the lab's turf. Of course I was the only one injured pulling them apart.
Saturday night (top photo) we went to a buffet and show at Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, just outside of Chad's Ford. What a splendid estate all decorated for Christmas as seen in the shot taken of my son's family. I would loved to have been there a week before when they had two feet of snow, but the rain wasted most of the the white stuff. The middle photo shows the four grand with the two older Norcini girls opening their Kindles.
Finally, the lower photo shows part of the Blue Ridge Parkway area in the western part of Virginia.
We couldn't get on the parkway itself due to snow, but there were a few places where we could make some images. I like this one because of the shadows being cast from the tree overlooking the little hill tucked away in the mountains.
