At 9:30 AM, we decided to go somewhere and by 10:30 AM we were leaving the farm. We went on a day trip travelling country roads to the Natural Chimneys Regional Park. We have lived in Virginia for 32 years and had always planned this short drive (about 50 miles) to see this natural wonder and never have until today. The weather was accommodating...sunny, in the 70's and no discernable humidity.

the photo is a bit catawampus because I had the camera sitting on a bench
with the 10 second timer set...I had to run to get into the picture

The park is small, but very clean and family-oriented. The chimneys themselves are located about a 30 second walk from the parking area - that was a bit of a surprise. We expected a bit more. So, we added the short, steep walk to the top and a easy 6/10ths of a mile back through woods to the car.
We then took a different and completely random route to a restaurant for our celebratory lunch. Live piano music was featured. I remembered that our honeymoon dinner also featured live piano music. This was another unplanned, yet nice addition to an already perfect day.
Glenn and I decided to try for another 10 years.
