What an awesome weekend
It really was a beautiful weekend. What incredible weather.
Saturday we packed the kids up and took them to the pool for a couple of hours. Not much else went on that day. Nice and relaxing.
Yesterday, after church, out of the blue my beloved asks if I would be interested in heading out to a park or something. Sure, why not! Highs in the upper 70's, no rain, nice breaze. And just like that we packed up the cooler, and headed out to Cacapon State Park in WV. What a beautiful place. It was a National Park built during the depression by the conservation corps. It has a swimming lake, rental boats, a nice playground, and some excellent views of the valleys and some hiking trails (the latter two we did not take advantage of this trip). But it is reasonably close - an easy day trip.
On our way home we were pretty hungry, not having packed any meals for the trip. The family we went with really wanted Mexican, but neither of us wanted to wait until we got back home. We stopped at a little resteraunt on our way back through Berkeley Springs, WV called Mi Ranchito. Wow, what a wonderful find! Excellent salsa, excellent fajitas! Just excellent food all around. And I was able to feed my family of five for right around $40 - including tip & and a half a carafe of Sangria.
It was jsut a nice weekend all around. Note: I've not forgotten my promise. I will be working on my testimony and getting it posted. :)
Verse for today:
Psalm 8:1-4, ESV
Lord, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

There is no heaven on earth, but if this is a foretaste of what's to come, won't it be wonderful?! Glad you had a great time with your family.
Sounds like a lovely weekend. I love visiting WV state parks whenever it's a nice day. It's one of our favorite family outings. And good Mexican sounds wonderful!
