Well,to say it was chilly last night would be an understatement. It was down right cold. Good thing I brought along a quilt and a couple of blankets and that we like to cuddle. We did sleep well and woke up early to another beautiful day. We had pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Nothing like the smell of bacon cooking in the morning.
After breakfast we made ready and mounted up to head for Skyline drive. A two hour ride up I 81 brought us to Front Royal where we had a wonderful lunch at The Mill Store. Then down the Skyline Drive we headed. If you have never made this drive it is well worth the time. You have to plan plenty of time because the speed limit is 35 most of the way and even drops to 25 a couple of times. And you want to have time for the many overlooks ( there are 75 alone the 105 mile trip ). We didn't stop at them all but we stopped at several, including the one at Mary's Tunnel and of course the Skyline overlook where the have the chocolatist chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. It was almost too rich to eat but we forced ourselves.
Along the drive we saw several deer and even a couple of wild turkey. All in all I think it was a very good day capped off with dinner at Red Lobster. Now for a shower and some down time before bed..
I still haven't figured out how to post pictures from the iPad to this blog so check them out on Facebook.
Tomorrow more adventures await the Grand We Two so check back in then.
Good night for now.
