Vacation 2010 Highlights

We just returned from our favorite frugal vacation spot — a cabin we rented in beautiful Montebello, Virginia! Here are some of the highlights from our week-long trip!

We enjoyed lots of fishing and swimming (well, more like splashing) in the lake.

We went exploring on several nature hikes together.
We had to visit the local drive-thru zoo and feed the animals. It isn’t very frugal, but it was definitely a highlight of our trip! Emily was a bit stingy with the food at first.
This fellow was a bit more friendly!
We spent some time picking the clover flowers.
….and Clara turned 2 right before our very eyes!
We stopped by Big Spy Mountain’s Overlook….
….and caught lots of breath-taking sunsets!!
…and every night ended with a special story time of passages from Shel Silverstein’s Falling Up.
It was a lovely trip, and now it’s great to be back! This week we’ll be sharing some fun ideas for the garden, a cute nature craft, tips for frugal picnics, and a super-fun giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!!
