Before I get started on this jag of posts from Tennessee and Virginia, a little disclaimer: Y’all realize that I’m about six weeks behind in posting to the blog, right? In other words, please don’t come over to rob the farm because you see we’re away on vacation. Because we’re not away on vacation. It’s the middle of August and we’re home, harvesting blackberries, tomatoes and zucchini, and enjoying cool nights on the porch. I’m sure you’ll see photos of those activities sometime in September. For now, please enjoy the photos of our travels in July. The posts will be dated on the dates they occurred. No animals were harmed in the making of these movies, either.
And, we’re off!
We’ve planned a trip to the cabin in Tennessee and a few days touring Virginia. But in order to get to Tennessee in time to see Chris, Barbara and Alexis before C&B have to head back to North Carolina, we’ve got to really haul ass. So we’re driving further in one day than we’ve ever driven before (at least since I was in my 20s and driving all day and all night to get somewhere was a piece of cake).
We’re headed to Chilhowe, Va. for a fabulous dinner at Town House and a stay at their luxurious guest house, Riverstead. But first, Greg narrates a couple of stops on the tour.
The amazing wonders of a convenience store called Funck’s somewhere near Hershey, Pa.
And, a rest stop just over the border in West Viriginia:
