Grayson Highlands State Park

If you are ever in or near Virginia, you simply must visit Grayson Highlands State Park.  It is near Mount Rogers and Whitetop Mountain, Virginia’s two highest mountains.  On one of our days of hiking, my lil’ family encountered beautiful wild ponies.

I thought I would also share this photo because it is featured today on the blog Inside My Glitching Mind.  It was taken on a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail at Carver’s Gap.

I hope you have many things over the weekend that just make you smile.  Get out you camera and document the every day things that bring you joy.  I plan on smiling and laughing and enjoying everything about this day.
