Skyline Drive (Late October 2013)

 Paul's favorite TV show is BBC's Top Gear.  Its a TV show with three guys who drive test drive cars and do fun excursions.  One episode they did included racing cars up and down Skyline Drive overlooking Shenandoah Valley.  It has a 25 mph speed limit. 

 So one Saturday afternoon in late October '13, Paul talked us all into hopping into the car to do the drive in our bid diesel suburban.  Below is a photo looking off the edge of Skyline out into the Shenendoah Valley.

Below is the girls standing on a retaining wall at Outlook Point.

We moved from California where I have never seen a wild bear and we saw several on this drive. Below is the baby.  The mom treed the baby when she saw us drive up.

Below is the momma bear.

Here is Livy standing at the edge of the visitors center. The Shenandoah Valley below is just breathtaking...

Inside the visitors center they had a stuffed bear that the kids could finally snuggle up with.  :)
