Daddy-Daughter Trip - Day 6
We woke up and had more pancakes for breakfast. Today we went to Hawk's Nest State Park. First, we got information about the park and then we went to the bottom of the New River Gorge in a little tram. When we got to the bottom, we had a picnic lunch - with leftover pizza! Then we got on a jet boat. It took us up the river - we saw lots of people who built little houses along the river so they could spend the day swimming and having fun. We saw the New River Gorge Bridge from another place. We took lots of videos and pictures. After that, we walked around a little bit more and then went back to the top in the tram. We bought lots of souvenirs and post cards. We had ice cream at Dairy Queen. It was so hot and we kept telling Daddy that we wanted to go back to Summersville Lake. We finally went and we had a chance to swim for awhile and get cool! After that, we went back to camp. It wasn't dark yet, so we cooked our dinner and started up a fire. Daddy cooked chicken noodle soup and rolls. We roasted marshmellows after it got dark. Daddy told us ghost stories and we sang some campfire songs. But then it started to rain. We thought it wouldn't last long, so Daddy drove us around for awhile. It looked like it was stopping, so we went back to camp. When we checked in the tent, Daddy figured out there was a big hole - and water had got everything wet! We ended up sleeping in the car and it rained all night...
