Viego Family Reunion 2008

Last weekend we attended the first Viego Family Reunion at the Wintergreen Resort in the mountains of Virginia. The weather up the mountain was deliciously chilly (compared to the sweltering temps in Baltimore) and it was so nice to be out of the city visiting with family for the weekend. Apia had his first taste of s'mores and sleeping in a tent, and he got to watch 8 of his cousins run circles around him! For the next reunion, he promises to be running around with the rest of them.

We didn't have a trail map, so so you can probably guess what we were thinking.

We also found an awesome lake close to Wintergreen called Lake Sherando. It's said to be the "jewel" of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Saying goodbye- we'll miss you all and we'll see you at the reunion in 2010 (hopefully before then as well!)!
