That time we went to Elkins WV June 12 2017!

Several hills, white knuckle grades and a few hours later we made it to our destination- Elkins WV-  we got there just after 3 pm and the mountains were beautiful. 

We got settled in our beautiful hotel room and went out exploring!

We went out to a local microbrewery, checked out the local library and went out for dinner. After that Ashton and I decided to hike on a trail I had heard about.  

Turns out the "trail" was really just a small paved road right next to the main road.  Not exactly exciting or relaxing.  I thought the grass behind me in this pic was the trail- nope- boring pavement on the other end of the parking lot. 

Ashton and I decided that the slope coming down into the parking lot of the hotel was more exciting than the trail. We cut our hike short and came back to relax at the hotel. 

With comfy beds and a busy day, I slept pretty well.  By the way, that is not alcohol Ashton is drinking, it's a bottled soda from the Lost River store back in Wardensville. 

The next morning I woke up early and I went downstairs on the patio to have my normal quiet meditation/yoga time.  These pictures just don't do the mountains justice.  So nice and peaceful.

 Eric had breakfast while I had some tea.  I had already enjoyed my breakfast alone in this spot.  I journaled and just had a wonderful time.

We packed and left the hotel at about 10am- we were heading to Weston today and then the long ride home, so we wanted to get started.

Mom you can use the button on the side of your phone to take a picture! I had to test it out!

We had a great time in Elkins- I could go back for a week easily.  So peaceful, so beautiful.  They have a train station there that takes you on scenic rides- maybe someday I'll go back. 

Until Next Time!
