Back from our trip to Elkins! Pics inside (dialup warning!)
Edited on Tue Jun-12-07 04:25 PM by oktoberain
So today we attended a Money Conference seminar being taught by a brilliant financial planner named Dee Lee. The event was held inside of a historic and gorgeous mansion on the grounds of Davis & Elkins College, named Halliehurst.

This is our pic of Halliehurst Mansion:



This is a group shot of the ones who attended from our city. Pictured from left to right: Debbie (student), Bonnie (staff), Thinkblue1966, Me, Dee Lee, Edie (teacher), and Natalie Tennant (Assistant State Treasurer of West Virginia)



This is me, relaxing on one of the lovely pieces of carven antique furniture inside of Halliehurst.



This is me during our lunch break, when I decided that the hair-clip thingy needed to leave. :D



This is ThinkBlue1966, hanging around under the trees near the entrance.



And finally, this is a picture of my feet that ThinkBlue1966 decided to take. I guess she liked my sandals? lol



More to come later, as I get them all uploaded. :hi:

10. Aw, thank you!
I would have kept it down the whole time, but it was rather hot outside today, and I couldn't tolerate it laying on my neck for long. Thank you very much for the compliment! :hug:

I can't imagine a West Virginia girl being happy in the desert for very long. :hug:

13. HEY!!! THAT'S MY HOMETOWN!!!!...........
I hope that you basked in the glory that is Elkins and D&E! Have you been to the Icehouse yet? :toast:

If you have time and want to get outdoors you should check out some cool places in the Monongahela National Forest: Bickle Knob has a really nice fire tower you can climb and watch the sunset and Stuart Park is a great day use park along the Shavers Fork of the Cheat.

And speaking of the Cheat, if you're looking for a good meal, check out the Cheat River Inn. Its kinda pricey, but the food is good and you can get a table overlooking the river.

Enjoy Elkins. Its a great place.
