Virginia named one of the five prettiest states in America

The San Francisco Examiner has named Virginia one of the five prettiest states in the nation:

I was shocked at how beautiful Virginia was after my first encounter a number of years ago.  What stunning scenery, backwoods horse country, dense woods and green, green green pasture land as far as the eye can see.  Chock a block with lovely little towns, countless rivers and bays, deep story lines – some good, some somber – but for the most part this state is inhabited by smart, very friendly, genuine people.  Plus the Commonwealth of Virginia is so rich with American history.  Worthy sites include Mount Vernon, Monticello and Montpelier and hundreds of others offering glimpses into the beginnings of our country.  Virginia is a beauty – and wine too.

The other four prettiest states were California, New York, Hawaii, and Washington.
