We three stayed in Cumberland Gap National Park on August 8th at the point where Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee meet. It was also at this point where we were reminded of how very hot and humid the South can be as we made the hike to Skylight Cave near the top of the Cumberland Gap. Daniel Boone led the way westward for millions of people through this gap.
In the car, Benjamin tried for many, many days to blow a bubble with bubble gum. To his delight, he mastered the task and is now blowing beautiful bubbles to entertain us all!
As we drove through Charlotte, North Carolina on August 10th, we were so glad to be able to stop at University Hospital to visit with Jerry's sister Beth Zaepfel, her daughter Lauren Pyles, and Lauren's two-week-old twins. The twins are in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, but are doing beautifully and should be heading home soon. We were so entranced with the tiny boys, that we forgot to take their picture!
After Charlotte, we decided to head back to Jacksonville, Florida a few days early to surprise my sister Melissa and her boys visiting from Germany. They were flying back to Germany on August 11th, so we were thankful to have a short visit with them before they left.
