i just realized i never posted pics from my memorial day trip out to west virginia. will's dad has a cabin (that he built himself!) out there and he was gracious enough to splurge on two plane tickets for both will and me. i have only been there once before but it was a couple of winters ago that i was there. west virginia is another sight to behold in the spring!

the rest of our trip was spent in the cabin - eating good food, lounging in a hammock on the porch while will and his dad chopped wood, and spending lots of quality time with his dad's animals.
