Natural Bridge really rocks! 
The other day we visited one of Virginia’s landmarks, a place we had wanted to see before we move to Tennessee. “Back in the day”, Natural Bridge brought crowds of tourists from all across the country to gaze upon the awe-inspiring arch. I don’t believe it is as popular now, but it is still worth visiting! Thomas Jefferson himself liked it so much, that he actually bought the bridge and the surrounding 157 acres from King George. And the cool thing is, he bought it for the equivalent of $2.40! Don’t you wish land was that cheap these days? Right now the park is going for 34 million.
But forgive me I am beginning to stray.
The place was practically deserted, and very peaceful, and we had a nice day trip out of it. We kept joking and saying things like “Boy, there are so much people here… is this busy or what?”
And of course we took pictures! Walter was the photographer that day, so I can’t take credit for these.

And yes, Nate is taller than Angie, and has been since before we left N.Y.! He towers over me something fierce now, it’s scary. And you’re right, my hair is growing back fast – I’m so happy! I estimate that it’s grown about an inch and a half since I cut it. It’s still ridiculously thick though…I fear there’s nothing I can do to change that.
