Skyline Drive

The kids and I have recently returned from our fall break trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Brian was not able to go with us because he had taken off work the week before to visit his dad. Not wanting me to drive alone, my parents graciously offered to go with me. The journey began last Friday in Dover, De. I picked the kids up from their Poppy's house and then drove to my Aunt Connie's house to pick my parents up. They had flown up the day before to visit with my Aunt and Uncle. The itinerary for day one: drive the Skyline Drive and visit Luray Caverns. After saying goodbye to Uncle Mike and Aunt Connie, we set off toward Front Royal, Va to get on the Skyline Drive.



















The Skyline Drive is the name given to the northernmost 105 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a scenic drive that runs the entire length of the Shenandoah National Park. The scenery was stunning, and we were greeted with beautiful views of the Shenandoah Valley almost immediately. Of course, we had to make several stops so that we could get out and enjoy the view. Unfortunately it was overcast, so a lot of my pictures turned out dark. In addition to making several stops at the overlooks, we also made a stop at Luray Caverns. By the end of the day, we had driven 65 miles along this scenic road. Here are a few of the pictures from the drive.
