Family vacation

It's has been a long time since my family gas gone someplace to just be.  It's great to watch as they swim in a river for the first time  (James river)  and a lake for the first time.  It's good to have seen my oh so moody 18yr old smile and laugh.  I got some really nice photos that I will share soon and stories of our hike. Untill  then have a good holiday..
