We got up Sunday morning fully expecting to head out of White Sulphur Springs by 11:00 am. Went into town for some breakfast and it was booming! A parade, a little kid's trout fishin' contest, and later; mutton bustin' and a rodeo! We're stayin'!
We met such a nice couple, John & Joyce, at the campground. John is a veteran and his job was to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I thought that was so awesome, thanked him for his service to our country and we ended up talking with them for quite a while. We sat with them at the rodeo that night and it was the best night I've had in a long long time. The patriotism, the horses, the cowboys, the bull riding, the barrel racing, the clowns..... I loved every minute. I guess I should have been a cowgirl...... For those of you who don't know, mutton bustin' is little kids riding a sheep to see how long they can stay on. What a hoot that was! All in all, it was a great day. Unfortunately, rodeo pictures are on my camera so I can't send.
Happy trails.
Hi Nancy! Getting caught up on your life after my long weekend is a perfect way to start my work week! Man...what an adventure you're on and the friends you're making, omg you should consider writing a book when you're done! I absolutely LOVE reading your blog! Your comment about the "cute" camper made me chuckle, of COURSE it's cute! It's downright adorable! Parent's are hitting Munich today and Salzburg tomorrow. So jealous of both your trips!
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a song about" I should have been a cowgirl"? What a hoot!
