The simple life.

The Simple Life...

There's much to be said for a simpler life. 
Despite all the technological advancements from the 1950s to today. All the things we lived thorough... during 8 decades, 2 centuries, and in 2 millenniums... has changed... and while most are are unbelievable by the 1950s imagination... they all could easily be traded for the simple life. Today's younger generations could never understand or comprehend a simpler life. Playing outside with others,  developing social skills, creating independent thought, and imagination. Developing true friends and relationships. Enjoying and appreciating nature. Riding bikes everywhere. Walking in the woods.
Playing catch... Playing with the family dog. 



Sometimes,  with all the shit going on in the world, in society, the controversy and drama... The old days seems pretty appealing. Family dinners... sitting on the front porch... going to the beach or the parks. That's when everyone talked to eachother... no electronics or phones.
A ride in the country...

Yep... Simpler Times.
Happier Times. 

Car Travel was coming into it own. 
Nothing better than to take day trips. 
National parks were a favorite. 
Shenandoah National Park


Even today its a specisl place...
Absolutely Beautiful!
