Vacation ups and downs

On vacation with my parents. Seeing beautiful scenery in Virginia and West Virginia. We've gone to several state parks, and I have to look longingly at the trails. My dad suffered a stroke a few years ago, and his mobility sucks, so we do 'accessible' things. Today I managed to hike a short trail in the Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia. I hope to stay healthy enough that I'm never prevented from hiking short trails like that. The park was awesome, the trail was fun. Saw two waterfalls in the park, and I know that there were more.

Vacation Gripe: This vacation was supposed to include MOSTLY national parks. Every day we've had to come up with other plans. Today included a jaunt into WV. We are actually vacationing in Virginia. It helps that my parents will humor me when I want to check out local breweries. But they won't spend the money to go see a cave. The government shutdown isn't going to end before my vacation. There is only so much to do in the Shenandoah Valley if you are on a budget.
