Pics: Road Trip With My Son's Boy Scout Troop

By Lori

Last week my family hit the road with my son's scout troop and their families. It was awesome! Our first stop was a tour of the D-Day Memorial in Bedford. We drove my car on Martinsville Speedway. We hit the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, NC for views and a short hike. Then we stayed 2 nights on the USS Yorktown in Mt. Pleasant, SC. We ferried to Fort Sumter while we were there. We then made the trek back to Virginia for some fun at VA Beach. Of course a stop at SOTB. We’re exhausted but it was so much fun! Here are a few pics of our family on the trip. Lots of memories and lots of laughs. Pictures below.
