Wiggs gets ready to score some more points.

Even though I am an adult without a spring break, I am luckily married to a student. So spring break here we come! We picked an unusual location: Morgantown, W.Va. Why? Kansas basketball.

West Virginia might be in the Big 12, but they are way over here, only 4.5 hours from us. We bought tickets early and drove the windy roads to the game. The drive proved most sketchy. We traveled backroads with giant pot holes that tried to eat Hondie and followed by towns with chain-link, welcome signs. Let's just say, we didn't feel that welcome.

We finally arrived and attended the away game. The team in general lacked oomph. They trailed early and throughout. They rallied at the end, but game up with an L. Wiggs busted record though, scoring 41 points. While a disappointing loss, we saw that bit of history, and I attended my first away game. West Virginia fans followed by rushing the court, which made me thankful to be a non-rushing Jayhawk.

Conner Frankamp runs the point.

Frank Mason plays defense.

Jamari Traylor's demeanor tells the story of this game — frustration.

What else is there to do in the Morgantown area? Well, not much in cold, snowy weather. Even in warm weather, not much. We tried some hiking, but snow covered the paths, making them impassable for the unprepared (us). We visited Coopers Rock State Forest, but didn't make it to the overlook. We messed around on what trail we could traverse and then headed back to the car.

Early March hikes in West Virginia involve snow.

The sums up that hike: unimpressed but tasty snow.

Another highlight of the area: the smallest church and post office. Yes, I am serious. Not sure I would make a trip out of this, but we were already passing through, so why not. Meet the smallest church in the 48 states, Our Lady of the Pines Catholic Church. The 24-foot-by-12-foot church holds 12, and believe it or not, we saw other people during our visit. Right behind this little church sits an even smaller building — the smallest post office. I love mail, so this oddity was fun. We are not sure if it was a joke or not, but you could send post cards, and a sign stated that they pick it up every Friday the 13th. So Mom, who knows, you might actually get that postcard.

In Silver Lake, W.Va., we found the smallest post office.

Of course I got my picture with it.

The small church has a pretty backdrop.

Ready for church, we have seating for 12.

While many things eluded us on our journey, the Christmas lights and decorations confused us most. Our on night drive there, we saw red-lit trees, green door wreaths and candle-glowing windows. The holiday-theme continued in Morgantown downtown, where they had happy holidays signs. Unless they stretch the holidays until St. Patrick's Day, I have no idea what the banners were still doing up. Funnily, we heard the Gretchen Wilson song "Redneck Woman" on the way home where she belts out "And I leave my Christmas light on, on my front porch all yearlong." Apparently it is a thing. We don't understand.

Downtown Morgantown: West Virginia didn't seem to get that memo that it is March.

The Christmas continued on the drive back.

Then, on the way home, we stopped right before the Virginia state line to give Hondie a rest and go for a hike. We started ambitiously, but shortly into the hike, we were slipping and sliding. Not prepared for an ice-hike, we turned around.

Hiking sticks for our hiking adventure.

Got mine!

More ice rink than hiking trail, we had to turn back.

We had a good trip, but I think it's safe to say, West Virginia shouldn't top any spring break trip list. Go south. Go warm. Go beaches.

Hondie enjoyed a nice view while we hiked.
