green grass and high tides!

After safely arriving to our cute little B&B- we quickly headed to bed so we could get up bright and early to take our whitewater rafting trip. Now I must say that I was VERY nervous...did I mention that I was VERY nervous. (some would say that over the last 10 or so years I have become somewhat of a nervous-nelly but that is for another day). Nathan tried very hard to calm my nerves but I was still pretty shaky before we took off. I had heard terrible stories about the outcomes of whitewater rafting trips and all I could picture was Nathan getting flipped out, hitting his head, floating down the river...ok so you get the picture.HOWEVER, thankfully that was not the case and it turned out to be an AWESOME experience.

The river was up at a level 4- meaning that it was pretty high and moving pretty fast. Our trip took us down the Lower New River that consisted of three level 5 rapids(the highest they go), five or six level 3/4 and the rest were level twos. Talk about a rush...I can not even being to explain how fun it was. Our guide, his name was Patrick, did a great job navigating a very fun trip. He let us jump out of the raft and drift down the river through a level 1 rapid, we stopped to jump off a 10 foot cliff and went racing through some great rapids and under the Gully River Bridge AND made it out without getting flipped out of the raft. Nathan and I were in the front of the boat so we could set the speed. Nathan wanted to go fast...imagine that! I got tossed around a little and landed in Nathans lap but that was the extent of it. Overall, we would recommended that EVERYONE try it at least once in their life. The water was beautiful, the scenery was breathtaking and the rapids were 'narly' as Patrick told us many times.

this gives you an idea of what our trip looked like!!


This is the Gully River Bridge that we rafted under- it is the tallest, single arched bridge in the Northern Hampshire.


After our rafting trip we stopped at a local restaurant to grab a little grub. We found a place called Tudor's Biscuit World...doesn't that sounds yummy??

I couldn't wait to dig into my Eagle Biscuit...it had Canadian Bacon, Cheese, Egg(but I gave it to Nathan), and a Hashbrown smooched between to delicious Buscuits!


What a great day...but it was not over yet!!! We were heading to a Power Baseball game that night.
We ate a local restaurant called Cilantro's that had some of the best Mexican food and then watched the baseball game. The end of the game is where it got exciting.

Mr. Belding from Saved By the Bell was the star guest for the night. He was doing a little karaoke at the end singing Brown Eyed Girl and Nathan INSISTED that I was the brown eyed girl he needed to sing to!! So here is Mr. Belding and me enjoying a little karaoke together.


I will be signing FREE autographed pictures for anyone who leaves a comment!! :)

The grass is sure green here in WV,the tide was high but most importantly God is Good!!
