Yesterday, I wrote about our excursions through the Smoke Hill Caverns, Dolly Sods and Spruce Knob. Todd and I decided to make Day 3 of our trip a more relaxing day. Todd and I are both early birds, so we were up before ! I made up some homemade biscuits with sausage gravy for breakfast. They were so good!
We stayed around the cabin after breakfast, watched Rocky Balboa on DVD , played with Lana and spent some time in the hot tub. It was so nice and relaxing. By , we were ready to roll! No more being lazy!
We drove the 10 minutes “into town” which is named Beverly
I love all things old, and going to the cemetery (started in 1762), I was on a mission to find the oldest person in the cemetery. We found someone who was born in the early 1700’s!
Todd and I both agreed that this is most likely the oldest person we’ve ever seen in a cemetery. I realize that the tombstone had been replaced, but can you imagine what it was like in 1739 when this person was born?
After the cemetery, we went on a walking tour of Beverly. It was absolutely free! The houses were gorgeous! Here are pictures of just a couple of them:
That was the last full day in Beverly, WV. We had a great time on the trip and look forward to going back. The only money we spent was on the cavern tour ($27) and we went out to eat twice (less than $50 for both meals).

What do you do to save money on vacations?
Great series, and very inspiring! We're a family of 7 that hasn't done many vacations yet, but this summer we're getting started with day trips in our area. Local parks are one of the places I'd like to go to since they're free. I also found an insulated bag at a Columbia outlet to add to my supply of bags and coolers for bringing along our own food.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love the pictures of the old houses. They remind me of the time we spent in Harpers Ferry a few years back.
