In November I drove to Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park for sunrise. Once the sun was up I decided to continue my drive south and explore a little. The park was quiet on this Tuesday morning and I followed a few deer down the road as they ambled along looking for breakfast! I […]

I set my alarm for an early morning wake-up so I could drive 1 1/2 hours to Skyline Drive for sunrise. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of waking up before the sun but I’ve never regretted it once I drag myself from bed! The drive was relaxing and calming as I wound thru the […]
