Here’s your Friday getaway:
Breaks Interstate Park, VA

This trip is perfect for travelers:
love disconnecting from life and heading into the mountains.
Hidden away in the heart of Appalachia in Southwest Virginia is a park managed by two states (Kentucky and Virginia). They brought us in for a visit to experience what a few days on site would be like. Don’t be fooled (like we were) by the name, the Breaks Interstate Park:
is NOT a park located on the side of the interstate.
is NOT a refurbished rest stop just off the highway.
