Daddy-Daughter Trip - Day 7

Daddy woke up early and cleaned up the campsite. He decided to throw away the tent - he said it was old and we could get a new one! We left kind of early and ate some breakfast bars in the car. It finally stopped raining. We went down the road to the Monongahela Forest and looked at all the beautiful views. It was amazing! We visited a nature center and looked for bears - we didn't see any. Then we got some lunch - Brenna got nachos and Erin got macaroni and cheese. Daddy had some fruit. We went up to the top of a big mountain and looked around a ski resort called "Snowshoe." It was so cool - now I really want to go there! Then we drove down to see a big telescope [National Radio Astronomy Observatory]. It is called a radio telescope. We took a tour - it was very interesting. We also got to see the Seneca Rocks nearby. Daddy wanted to check out a place in Sugar Grove where he heard there were cabins. It was a tiny place with nothing to do. We had to drive over some big mountains to get back to Virginia! After we got back to the interstate, we stopped for dinner at Burger King (chicken fries & cheesy tots - mmmm). It took a long time, but we finally got home. That was the end of our trip!!!
