Daddy-Daughter Trip - Day 1
The day we left, Erin really didn't want to go. Now she is really glad she went! Before we left we had to do a lot of packing, making lists. Then we were on our way! We stopped at the Bass Pro Shops to get some camping supplies. When we came out of the store, Daddy noticed that we had a flat tire. We got it fixed at the service station by a nice man who helped us. We got some more supplies at Walmart. Then we started driving. When we got near Thomas Jefferson's house [Charlottesville, VA], we started to see lots and lots of mountains - and some big bridges. Everything was so beautiful! We stopped for dinner at a Burger King and shared some Cheesy Tots and Chicken Fries. Then we finally got to the hotel - a Howard Johnsons in Lexington, VA [1935]. It had miniature golfing and a pool! We put our stuff in the room and were going to go swimming - until we heard about a horse event nearby. We went to the Virginia Horse Center and watched a Barrel Racing competition. It was so fun and exciting. Then we went back to the hotel and went to sleep!
