Coming Home to Morgantown
Holy crap! I just found out that the submit@picturewestvirginia.com email address wasn’t forwarding right and I missed a few posts! Sorry, guys — poorly done. So this week, in addition to the ‘Structures’ theme, I’m going to catch up on the posts from Weeks 1 and 2 that I missed. I’ve got it all sorted now, so it won’t happen again.

Last summer, my wife, daughter and I went on vacation to Cape Cod and Maine. We saw some beautiful sites. Nantucket Island, the sunset at Race Point which is the very end of the Cape. We walked on the National seashore. Bar Harbor and the rocky coasts and light houses of Maine, Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain. But nothing was as beautiful as the vision of heaven we saw when we came back home. These pictures were taken from the car on I-68 shortly after crossing into WV. Although we were in Preston County, I consider that to be part of the Greater Morgantown Metropolitan Area. And I consider Morgantown my home town.

Wow! Those colors are gorgeous!
Whenever we cross over into West Virginia, we always sing “Country Roads.” This is a tradition I totally stole from a friend, and it’s great fun, especially hearing the kids try to sing it.

I have seen several beautiful sunsets from that exact spot.

I used to work for a touring band. We would travel all over. For a while, we had a Sound Engineer who may be the proudest West Virginian that I have ever met. Anyway, while he was on the road with us it became tradition to ummm…. Smoke a “Border Joint” as we crossed back into WV.

$: That’s so cool. Sounds like something I would’ve done in college.
