Day 1 - Shenandoah

Hi, it's Greg and Amy. Welcome to our road trip journal, where we plan to document some of the pictures and events from our upcoming 10 week adventure -- including national parks, state parks, ball parks, theme parks, and... car... parked?

Our first day didn't go exactly as planned -- we intended to do a short overnight hike in Shenandoah National Park, but, because of the crappy weather, we ended up in a cabin at "Skyland Resort." Oh well. That's the way the road goes.

First picture of the trip. Saying "bye" to Greg's high school.

Snagged this one from Google Images for the professional quality.

So foggy!

Driving Skyline Drive. And Greg's actually driving!

Tunnel was creepy with the fog. Low visibility!

Our cabin! We decided to avoid camping in the fog and intermittent downpours.

I think it was a good decision!

So, that was our first night! Kind of surreal that we are making this trip happen, but it's been great so far! Overall, Shenandoah is a beautiful, beautiful place, which we were able to explore further the following day. We will write more about Day 2 soon, but not tonight, because this blog is a pain in the butt.

Day 1 Rating: Bad weather can't ruin opening day of a cross-country road trip. 10/10
