<\/a>Scenic Vista<\/p><\/div>\n
The Blue Ridge Mountains are beautiful. I get to see them several times a year, as my in laws live in Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley. On my last trip me and the boys took a ride along the scenic route to stop and take in the grandeur. The next time you see a “Scenic Overlook” sign on your busy way, try to find the time to stop. Every time I have, it’s been so worth it.<\/p>\n
