Happy Summer Friends! Here is my AI enhanced journal for our summer vacation - so much better than I could have wrote.
To our sheer delight, my husband unearthed a captivating haven known as the "Green Hill Cabin" nestled in the heart of Front Royal, casting its enchantment upon us. This magical abode boasts proximity to his uncle's residence, adding an extra touch of familial warmth to our sojourn.
With a fire pit at our disposal, we yearned to indulge in the delightful pursuit of crafting delectable s'mores. Alas, our quest for prime firewood proved more arduous than anticipated, leaving our tantalizing treats for another time. However, fear not, for our spirits remained aflame as we created a modest bonfire to celebrate my beloved son, Mason's birthday. A bittersweet moment, for he would have turned 22, yet Front Royal's deep-rooted significance to our family rendered it a hallowed place of remembrance. This hallowed ground, where stars aligned and destiny played its hand, witnessed the inception of our grandparents' love story, etching within us an indescribable bond.
Amidst this journey of self-discovery, where the search for our ancestral tapestry consumed my thoughts, I found myself adrift in a sea of uncertainty. The loss of my dear father, grandmother, and other estranged relatives left me at a crossroads, unsure of where to begin piecing together the mosaic of our lineage. However, a beacon of hope emerged when I reached out to my aunt, whose benevolence shone through as she shared a precious link to our ancestry. Through this virtual portal, I stumbled upon treasure troves of captivating photographs, unveiling hitherto unseen portraits of my father and grandmother, bridging the gap between the past and the present.
And so, our escapades continued to unfold, each day presenting a fresh canvas upon which to paint vibrant memories. Yesterday, we embarked on an exhilarating horseback ride, the sheer exhilaration permeating our beings. Little Emmie found her equestrian companion in the form of a miniature marvel, aptly named Sugar, while I mounted a spirited Arabian beauty christened Angel. 
Our mischievous Rudy, in all his youthful exuberance, dared to tame a magnificent brown steed known as none other than Bud Light. Oh, the laughter that echoed through the air as we teasingly reminded him that he was indeed too young for such an audacious ride!
Today, our wanderlust guides us to the alluring allure of Harper's Ferry, an exclamation of joy escaping our lips. The heavens have bestowed upon us the gift of idyllic weather, gently caressing our souls with its resplendent beauty. The balmy embrace of Front Royal proves far more temperate than the sultry climes of Florida, bestowing upon us a respite from the relentless humidity. As twilight descends, a gentle chill whispers through the air, further enchanting our hearts.
Oh, the stories we shall weave, the memories we shall create, as we immerse ourselves in the tapestry of this unforgettable summer escapade.
Our first summer vacay of 2023 has been great! The drive was super long coming all the way from Florida with kiddos and a new pupper- but since my hubs drove the whole way I can't complain! I know he mentioned wanting to fly if we make the trip again. He found us a super cute cabin to stay in Front Royal. It is very close to his uncles's house
The cabin has a fire pit but we had trouble finding good firewood so we still need to make the smores we bought on the first day.
We did make a little fire for my son's birthday. He would have been 22. Front Royal is a town that holds a lot of significance for my family. It's where my grandparents first met and fell in love, which makes it a really special place for us. I have been trying to find out as much about my ancestry as possible lately but really do not know where to begin since my dad, grandmother and other relatives have passed away or I am no longer close with them. So I messaged my aunt and she shared our ancestry link. I found some really great pictures of my dad and grandmother I had never seen before.
Yesterday we went on a horseback ride and it was so fun. Emmie got to ride on a miniature horse named Sugar. I was on an Arabian girl named Angel. Rudy rode a brown horse named Bud Light . LOL, we told him he was too young to ride that horse!
Today we are going to Harper's Ferry. YAY. The weather has been so beautiful. Not as hot or humid as Flroida and a little chilly a night.
