Next we went rowing on Cheat Lake. I was a bit out of practice and flipped 6 times but it was very fun once I got coordinated. The next day we went back to Pittsburgh for a bit of shopping and a run with some friends. We tried to get perogies for dinner but they wouldn't let Damien in without a U.S. Drivers licence. How stupid. They did let us place a to go order and then sit at the bar for 45 minutes while they cooked our food.
The next adventure was spelunking with Natasha at Laurel caverns. They have daily spelunking at 10am. (Un)fortunately Damien and I brought the wrong footwear so we weren't allowed on the trip. They did however make a private tour for the 3 of us that went to some very different places in the caves, for no extra cost. We also went to the rain day festival. It didn't rain. It was very hot. Damien tried his very first corn dog. I think he liked it?
The next day we went to the new river gorge and did a day of rafting before going to Charlottesville for dinner with Abbie. It was great fun! Definitely worth doing again. We stayed at the oakhurst inn which was very nice. I hear that they have excellent breakfast but we opted for paradox pastry with Abbie instead. Damien and I both got strange looks for ordering the lunch special for breakfast but we each had a quiche, cookie, and salad for $10. Who cares what time it is?! Abbie and I did a bit of shopping while Damien went to montechello. He did 4 tours for $25. Pretty good value. The twins arrived just before dinner and we all went out for sushi at Now & Zen. They had the most amazing assortment of vegetarian sushi. Gillie and I were so happy. In the morning we went back to Paradox pastry for more delicious food. We got on the road to Virginia Beach. On the way, we stopped at a weird visitors centre in Petersville. We got to the beach just before dinner and spent the evening lazing around.
The next day was the memorial for my grandparents. It was lovely. Our beach activities included swimming in the ocean, swimming in the pool, biking, and watching anime. On Saturday we went to the boardwalk and ran 14km
After the run we played a round of 3D BLACK LiGHT MiNiGolf!
The effects were cool the actual MiNiGolf was a bit basic.
