The purpose of this blog post is to explain not only why I wasn't able to blog last week, but will also go into detail on what this was.

Last week, I went on a trip that my Boy Scout troop only does once a year during April vacation, we call the "April Trip". This is a week long camping trip where we not only camp but also participate in awesome and interesting activities throughout the week. The first day, we drove down to the shanendoah valley in Virginia. Once we were there, we set up our tents in the dark, sat by the fire, and went to sleep. The following day, we made our way to the Luray Caverns, the largest caverns in the East Coast. These caverns were beautiful and HUGE! The day after that, we took a canopy tour (zip lining) down a mountain, where the longest line was 975 ft long! Later that afternoon, we packed up and headed south towards a campground close to the Kings Dominion amusement park. After we spent the night there, the next morning we got up bright and early and hurried down to the park. We were one of the first people in the park, and had the park to ourselves for the first 45 mins. We went on roller coasters, spinning rides, drop rides, and had an awesome time. The next day we came back, wishing it wasn't over. The trip was a lot of fun, and I definitely wish I was still down in virginia.
