Huntington, West Virginia

    The adventure continues as we travel through West Virginia.  On our way across the state, we noticed some really beautiful scenery.  We saw the Great Creek Mounds, the Appalachian Mountains, and many majestic waterfalls.  The great outdoors have loads of fun things to see, but they also have many fun things to do, like whitewater rafting and mountain climbing.  Other fun activities include the state fair and the pumpkin festival.  But West Virginia is known for more than these fun activities.  They are also the top producer of coal and the golden delicious apple was first grown in West Virginia.  Mother’s day was also invented in West Virginia. 
    Another thing you should know about West Virginia is that many famous people were from West Virginia like Brad Paisley, Jennifer Garner, and Mary Lou Retton.  The movie We are Marshall was also filmed in Virginia. 
    Virginia’s state animal is the black bear and the state fish is the brook trout.  Kids in West Virginia schools are lucky that they get to learn all of these fun facts.  But when they need to take a break, the children enjoy spending recess playing kickball, tetherball or another activity that they like.  West Virginia sounds like a pretty cool state.  I sure want to visit, don’t you?  I bet anyone would have a great time there.
