Pennsylvania 10/01/08-10/07/08



We went back to Pennsylvania for Jared's sister's wedding! It's always fun going back east to visit with Jared's family. Especially for such a happy occasion! Best wishes to Steve and Laura!


While we were in the area we went with some of the family to see the Gettysburg sites.
One of the Natural Wonders of the World is in Virginia. We took a day trip out to see The Natural Bridge. It's a geological formation where a creek has carved out a gorge in the limestone, forming a 215 ft high by 90 ft wide arch! There's an actual highway that crosses the naturally made bridge. Thousands of visitors have come to see it over the years. Many carved their names into the limestone. The rumors has it that the initials G.W that we saw there was actually done by George Washington before he became president. I also saw a carving with the year 1855 next to it! (Those little dots at the bottom of the picture above are people!)


Big "thank you"s to Jared's sister Beth and her husband Cardell for letting us crash at their house during our stay in PA, to Jared's parents for your hospitality and for keeping us well fed, Jared's brother Chris for getting us to and from the airport it one peice, to everyone that came with us on our day trips, and to Laura and Steve for getting married so we could come and visit! = ) We love spending time with all of you!
