Wild, Wonderful West Viginia

The lake at ACE
The family on horseback



We've had a great time with the family here in West Viginia.  Ace Outdoor Adventures is a fabulous place to visit....with every activity you could ever imagine.  Thanks to the wooded mountains, cell phone and internet service is absolutely lousy, but we managed to coordinate our activities.  The McCurdys especially had some great moments.  On Tuesday Tom and Reid went off to play golf at a beautiful resort while the rest of us tested our horseback riding skills.  Later that evening, the McCurdys went zip-lining through the forest on a "canopy tour."  Wednesday morning we awoke to lots of rain, but the rafters (Ann and Matt) were going to get wet anyway - so off they went!  (Matt won the prize for the most "swims" on the rafting trip!) Grandma and Grandpa took the girls to the National Park Visitor Center at the New River Gorge Bridge and learned a little about the area and took a look at the Western Hemisphere's highest arch bridge.  Luckily, the sun came out and we spent the afternoon at ACE's spring fed lake filled with giant inflatable water toys, a huge water slide and a zip-line into the water.   Uncle Reid treated us to dinner at "Pies and Pints" before the McCurdys had to leave...with three girls begging to stay longer!
