Our NY vacation drive

Last week we packed up the girls and hit the road for the 12 hour drive from our home in North Carolina to our old home in Western New York.  (I also specify western NY because when I say NY, everyone assumes New York City....there is so much more to NY than that city.  So for us, think Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and the Great Lakes.)  While driving on I-77 north, you drive right through the Appalacian Mountains.  These are pictures of our journey right through the Big Walker Mountain Tunnel in Western Virginia.  I take pictures of this every trip, lol.
 Once you enter the tunnel, it slowly gets darker...the lights help, some.
 I did not change the settings on my camera, this is from being deep in the mountain.
 You can start to see the "light at the end of the tunnel".
 It just gets brighter and brighter then....
 BAM!!!  I love this shot.
When we had Brandon, he used to love to shout "time tunnel, time tunnel". lol.
Be blessed,
Debbi

That's an awesome shot there at the end! Tunnels can be fun, but sometimes scary too! It's funny that you always specify western, because (being from CA) I do always think big city when I think of New York! LOL

Looks as "scary" as the Windsor/Detroit tunnel. Children can make some scary into something funny. Stopping by from Blogging Buddies.
