So after all that rain, we arrived at the Shenandoah National Park. There were plenty of reasons driving up and down for having the SUV...

Despite the sun hiding behind the cloud, the views were breathtaking. It was a real moment of awe and wonder. The photos to prove it be will making a delayed appearance, due to wobbly hotel wifi.

The rain came back with a vengeance on the drive back to Rosslyn. Along with the weariness and indecisiveness, and a sudden realisation that all we'd done was snack. So we went for a wee wander around the hotel and snacked come more!

We here! Feels a tad surreal still. Bring on the rest of the adventure.
