If you read my blog posts, you will know I am rather fond of Twitter. In fact the term "twitterholic" has been used to describe my level of enthusiasm. You might also think based on my tendency to go on and on in my posts here that the 140 character limit on Twitter may be a problem for me. Well, I adapt.
So what does Twitter have to do with this post? Well there is a really nice Twitter custom called Follow Friday. On Fridays Twitterers around the globe recommend other Twitter users to their followers. Sometimes there are long lists in multiple tweets. Sometimes it's one or two with a mention as to why you recommend them. I think it is a great custom and decided it might be fun to share it in our blog only not for Twitter but for other blogs or websites that I want to recommend to you.
Of course we would love for you to do all of your outdoor recreation in our Virginia State Parks but hey I'm a realist. Also, when you visit a state park it's not like we lock you in and you don't ever leave during your stay. Our parks are often convenient and affordable places to stay so that you can visit and see the sites in the area around the parks. So, I am going to recommend on a weekly basis one or more blogs or websites that might be of interest to folks traveling in Virginia or other outdoor recreation destinations.
For my first recommendation, it has to be the Virginia Tourism website. They've just redone the look and layout of their site and it is jam packed with great ideas on where to go and what to see throughout the state. While you're there, enter to win one of four complete vacation packages. The Heart of Appalachia Package includes a stay at Hungry Mother State Park. Be sure you say "Appalachia" correctly with the third syllable pronounced "latch" and just forget you see that letter i.
Hopefully you have noticed that our theme this year is "I Love Virginia State Parks" which meshed nicely with Virginia's award winning slogan (now 40 years old) "Virginia is for Lovers." Be sure and check out the electronic version of their travel guide. There is so much to see and do in Virginia and this website is a great start for trip planning!
Be sure to check back each Friday for other recommendations of websites and blogs.
