So, I was invited to Becky and Ben's wedding down in Bl
acksburg, VA and decided to make a bit of a vacation out of it, where the drive is part of the fun. Anyways. It was a gorgeous day
at first, then it poured down rain for a spell and traffic went down to 20 mph on the highway. I then stopped at my first entertainment location: Natural Bridge. I also did my best to contemplate the meaning of living under a bridge (Memoirs of the Billy Goats Gruff...)
The place is a bit of cheesy Americana with a wax museum and goofy sculptures. The look on these guys faces are great! After getting poured on at the bridge (I have great timing) I continued on to Blacksburg, VA to check into the hotel, find food and then sleep - it's a long drive.
ot there in great time. The wedding was beautiful, gorgeous weather. It was in the Hahn Horticulture Gardens at Virginia Tech. Here's a few pics from that and the flowers and the reception. They had 8 different kinds of cake instead of one. I had a red v
elvet and vanilla cake one that had the best icing...thank you Joyce for switching me from the one I picked up - it had coconuts... yuck! After wards I walked around campus a bit, and tried to get in a fight with the Hokie Bird statue...
