I think Virginia is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Of course, I haven’t been all over the world…but WHY would I when I live in this lovely place?

We lived in Virginia for about a year and a half… just last year. It was a very beautiful place. We didn’t get to see nearly enough of it. The one thing I couldn’t bear was the humidity, though! Made it hard to enjoy nature on the warm days!

The humidity is a killer in the summer! Not bad yet though…but oh, I know it’s just around the corner!

I was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and had a wonderful childhood because of it. I moved to Nashville TN four years ago but my husband and I are planning on moving back in a couple of years because I want to raise my children there. You’ve made me a little home sick and brought some tears to my eyes, but I still thank you for sharing the loveliness of this great state. ~ Gina
Oh, what part of Virginia are you from?
