Virginia Is For Lovers

I didn't just make the above title up; there are bumper stickers at the welcome centers that say this, so thought I'd start with that. Left Myrtle Beach 9 a.m. and arrived at "Little Country Campground" around 5:30 pm. In between we drove thru North Carolina. Virginia is a very pretty state - huge ferns and a lot of foliage which is similar to what's in Seattle. Big houses on lots of land - brick and colonial style. So much history with Civil War battlefields all over. Driving the last 7 miles to get in to the campground off the main hiway was interesting because it was a very narrow winding road with all kinds of twists and turns and up and over rolling hills . The last mile of the road we made a sharp right turn and I thought we were going to end up in the church graveyard, but the road just paralled it and kept going. We are way back in the countryside somewhere - it's very dark out and I just stepped outiside for a minute and saw stars, satellites and some unidentified blinking lites...hmmm- it was time for me to get back inside! Ernie BBQ'd our entire dinner tonite - chicken, green beans and red potatoes. Time for a Klondike bar! - Joyce
