Duck pond is a pretty little pond in Blacksburg town. You actually can see ducks there. There's is a trail by the pond too. Usually a lot of people walk and run on the trail.

It is not far from the city and still a nice and calm environment.

We visited Joe's trees farm on a sunny Saturday in October 2016.

We took a hay ride costing $1 per person to a pumpkin patch. The ride was about 5 - 10 mins and the scenery was nice.

It had a corn maze too.

We bought two pumpkins for the Halloween and some delicious Christmas Jam too.

We moved from Bloomington, IN to Blacksburg, VA in Aug 2016.

Soon after moving here we visited Cascade falls in Pembroke, VA which has a 2miles scenic hike.

The hike is not hard. It may become hard if you have to carry your toddler as strollers wont help in most part of the trail.

The trail was very scenic. It runs along the crystal clear creek from the falls.

We visited Dollywood, Tennessee in Christmas 2015. We have visited Tennessee before but never got a chance to visit Dollywood. This time we could visit with our friends in Knocksville.

The park was really pretty with all the christmas lights. We took few thrilling rides and our son enjoyed lots of rides in kid's park.

We were on our way home from Texas and we decided to visit Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas.

It was almost 5pm when we reach there. There were few hot water springs but I think the hot springs in "Madunagala, Sri Lanka" I've visited, are larger and better. There are massive bath houses built around the springs though.

Anyway we enjoyed two scenic roads nearby. The sunset was so beautiful.

We stayed the night in "Little rock" and headed home next day.
