Some of the most memorable times of my childhood were when we would go to Great Falls or other parks and have picnics, or hike in the woods. We would sometimes go to River Bend in the early spring and look for wild flowers, like Lady's Slippers and Jack-in-a-Pulpits. One time we came on a Snapping Turtle and had to make a wide berth. Another time, we went to the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and Mom worked on a painting of a barn. We also explored a creek during that trip. We would also camp our way down to Florida. One time it rained most of the way down, and our old tent leaked. My brother and I slept in the station wagon part of the time so we would be dry. But we had great fun!
