Buena Vista, Virginia 

 

Buena Vista is a place that Vern and I have talked about moving to. We have never been there before but we love the University there.

It was as beautiful as we thought it would be. Here is a picture of Southern Virginia University. It is beautiful. 

We took the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was gorgeous. We found a cool trail that took us to some massive rocks! We were Rock n Rolling! The kids tried jumping climbing and sliding. We only had four falls, one twisted ankle and one child stuck between two boulders.  It ROCKED! 

  

 

 

My older sister and I use to love to sing and dance to the song. I’m a little tea pot.  I was so excited when I found the huge tea pot. I had to run back to the RV to drag Vern and the Kids to come and see it. They were not as impressed as I was.

 

Do or Die

 

Right across the highway was the coolest cemetery in the world. The one and only Stonewall Jackson was buried there. We were only in Buena Vista for 1 night so we knew if we didn’t go to the cemetery that night, we might not be back for a long time.

How cool is it to sneak in at 11:00 pm to see Old Stonewall! Well we all thought it was cool, well 5 of us thought it was cool. Kelby was very upset that we had snuck into a cemetery and he was very scared and freaked out!  

But he took one for the team and said he would try it out. 

 

We found the coolest old headstones. Some of these were as old as 1875. SO cool! 

 

 

 

Auvi and Conner thought they would try one on for size. 

 

Kelby and Zoe kept finding Rabbits to chase. 

 

But soon they though the were not regular bunnies. Zoe convinced Kelby that they were vampire rabbits. Way to go Zoe!    It took Kelby 2 minutes to freak out, and only 1 minute to run out of the cemetery! 

It was such an awesome cemetery that we decided to change our plans and stay for one more day. We wanted to one see the cemetery in the day, and 2 show Kelby that it was not a haunted cemetery. 

Check out the pictures even though they aren’t they awesome!

  

 

 

 

One of the coolest things was all of the Lemons around the cemetery. Stonewell loved lemons, so people frequently throw lemons at the grave of Stonewell. If life gives you lemons, make lemonaid.
