While I haven’t lived in Virginia all of my life, the Old Dominion is where I’ve spent most of my life. Raised in Yorktown, Virginia, where the Revolutionary War was won, I’ve traveled all over this great state, but still have more to explore: waterfalls to stand in awe of, mountainous overlooks to hike, winding country roads to traverse, lazy rivers to float, local eateries to share a meal, and friendly folks to meet all along the way.
Our state tourism board has it right: Virginia is for lovers…of the outdoors, history, adventure, sports, music and craft festivals, pastoral rural landscapes and bustling city centers. Plus, we enjoy the beauty of all four seasons!
Earlier today, my husband asked me where I see myself in 10 or 15 years. Only one place…Virginia! I love teaching middle school students on the weekdays and taking my Jeep out for a spontaneous “just because” backroads tour on weekends. Today, I’m sharing an Animoto video I created with a few Virginia highlights. Okay, my favorite sixth graders, I challenge you to add an Animoto video to YOUR blog! 🙂
Ms. Rombach,
I really enjoyed reading your blog. There was a lot of creativity put into the words you chose. I love how in the first paragraph you described all the great attractions in Virginia. Also, at the end of your blog you include an Animoto whichI thought was very clever.

Very detailed, I have always wanted to visit Virginia.
Reece, I hope you will visit Virginia some day soon. Where are you from? Have you written a post about your home state?? I’d love to read it!
