First Day of Virginia Trip

Sunday afternoon my dear friend Charlotte and I headed up to spend a couple of days in Virginia for our annual birthday trip.  We made a pit stop at the Virginia Welcome Center, & the lady working there suggested we get off the interstate at Fancy Gap and drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway for a while.  I am so glad she did.  We so enjoyed our stop at Mabry Mill – the most photographed spot on the Parkway, and obviously, with good reason.

We drove cross country and got to the Natural Bridge Hotel, which was our home base for the trip.  Supper was at the Pink Cadillac Diner, which was all decorated with Elvis memorabilia – perfect for Charlotte, who is a huge fan.  And the fried chicken was delicious.
