We traveled 65 miles (of the 105 mile long Skyline drive section) before we decided we had seen enough of up and down, winding and twisting roads. At one point we were a little over 3,000 feet in altitude.
It was beautiful, but you really only need so many pictures of tree covered hills. There was a little color in the trees, but it was mostly green.
I (Karen) went thru the Virginia Quilt Museum in Harrisonburg. It was nice, but kind of small. They had some modern artsy type quilts as well as several antique quilts, but no photography was allowed, so I don’t have any pictures to show.
We came back thru Staunton, VA which is just the next town from here, probably 5 miles away. They had signs advertising the Presidential Museum and Library for Woodrow Wilson which is located there. We thought we might find that interesting, after finally finding the place with the help of our GPS and following their signs, down narrow streets, many of which were one way streets, we found a parking place and went inside. A man sitting behind a little counter informed us it would be $12.00 each. We didn’t think we were interested enough for that, he then came down to $10.00 each since we were seniors, but we still weren’t interested enough to part with $20.00. We decided we could find out all we wanted to know about Wilson by looking him up on the internet. Neither of us has done that yet. . . .
We came back to the trailer, ate supper, and then took a walk around the campgrounds. It warmed up quite a bit today. This morning we had the heater on in here, this evening we turned the a/c on as it was nearly 80 degrees in here, plus many of our neighbors had fires going and we were getting smoke inside. We’re settled in for the night now. We have cable TV, so we’ll be able to watch our regular Friday night shows. Just like home!
