Industrial Scientific , Service Department

My husband took us   at Industrial Scientific, the place where he works,  a couple of weeks ago.  He wanted the kids to see where  spent his time  on weekdays.  Industrial Scientific operates not only in the US but also in Melbourne Australia, Edmonton Canada, France, and in China. I am glad we got to see   his  workplace. 

My husband  likes it there because  the benefits are good but  the pay per hour is not that much so he is   still open for some possible  employment.  

I can't believe that my husband has been working there for   almost a year now.  I feel like, he just got hire a couple of months ago.  Time flies fast, that's for sure!

Ceneca Cavern

After our wet exploration at Black Water Falls, we decided to head on to Ceneca Cavern.  The kids were very excited to see the cave.  ON road trips, you can never expect that everything will turn out perfectly.  As we were  driving, our GPS took us to a different route and we ended up in this plantation area.  

We saw a sign that  cars are not allowed to pass by there so we turned around and heard "Glenda" (that's what  the kids named  our GPS lol) say her favorite  word when we are lost "recalculating".  My husband was frustrated because we only got  limited time to catch the last  tour.

When we   reached  our destination, the lady at the  gift shop told us that the  last one just left.  So we drove all the way from Black Water Falls to Ceneca Cavern  just to see the gift shop haha.  Nevertheless, we   at least busied ourselves looking at these
beautiful  rocks and minerals for sale at the  gift shop.

So that was the big disappointment  of our road trip, not being able to see the Cave.
We should have  came here first and then hit the  Black Water Falls on the way home.
Oh well, there is always next time.  At least now, we know what to do.

I realized  by looking at the photos with my kids that, in few more years, they will be taller than me wahhh.  Our neighbor said that everyone is taller than me, argghhh.  Oh well, my father used to tell me "Small but Terrible" so it's okay to be small lol.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Pressure Washing the Fence

We pressure washed our  wooden fence last month as we are planning to stain/paint it as soon as the weather  permits us.  It's been raining  here so we can't really do it yet.  The weather this year is so weird.  Thanks to our  very good neighbor, Don for lending us  his pressure washer.  

We always  involve our children in  most of the things that we do.  Its one of  the many things of showing them how important they are to us.  Their opinion matters to us so whenever  me and my husband are planning of something, we always consult them.  I know that they are still young but we want to  let them know  that we truly CARE!

Black Water Falls

We went for  a road trip  last weekend.  We have been wanting  to explore some of the beautiful places here in West Virginia and we got to see some of it last Sunday.  Our first stop was the Black Water Falls State Park located in Davis, West Virginia.  It was very unfortunate that  the rain was pouring hard when we are approaching the State Park.  Nevertheless, it did not stop us from seeing the beauty of the falls.  Below are some photos.

Luckily, we had one umbrella  from our vehicle.  I feel bad for this lady who  works there as she was trying to entertain the  guests even if it was raining.  We stopped by and  we let the kids  guessed what kind of  scat/poop of animals they see on the  table.  

Me and hubby  were  laughing because we thought of adding one more W to Wild and Wonderful West Virginia and  that is Wet!

We decided not to go to the Salt Sands as the kids were getting so wet.
A good Samaritan offered to take us a family photo.  We returned the favor and took  a photo of them as well.

Our road trip did not end there.  Tune in for some more next time.  

Here is some facts about Black Water Falls taken from their website (the last photo was also from their website).  See how pretty it is when it's not raining?

Blackwater Falls State Park is named for the falls of the Blackwater River whose amber-colored waters plunge five stories then twist and tumble through an eight-mile long gorge.

The "black" water is a result of tannic acid from fallen hemlock and red spruce needles. The falls are one of the most photographed sites in West Virginia.
