Took Mom and Dad up on the Blue Ridge Parkway today. It´s hard for them to do a lot of walking, but they loved the trillium, wild geraniums, dogwoods, and native pink azaleas all blooming at different elevations along the road and overlook paths.

Virginia’s Highland County Maple Fest was a fun day. There were even some snow remnants despite all the warmer days. Maple syrup, candy, bbq, ice cream, donuts, and cotton candy were all delish, and very good tours of some sugar camps. However, I think my highlight was buying a black bear tshirt from Teddy Roosevelt.
#FallingSpringFalls is another great Virginia waterfall. While I usually prefer a good hike in to a secluded falls, it´s nice this one is easily accessible to anyone right off US220.
