Round and Round We Go

Mildred, our GPS lady, and Ron had a disagreement this morning about which road we should take to Waynesboro.  First we went around the same roadway twice before realizing that Mildred was saying to do  and then when we did realize what she was saying, we were in the wrong lane so had to find a place where we could turn around, not always an easy thing to do with 40 feet and a tow car behind you.

While the road Mildred took us on was a pretty drive, it was a narrow, two lane curvy, windy road  and very slow going with the uphill and downhill twists and turns.  After about two hours, we finally arrived at the Interstate highway and could breathe a sigh of relief.  The countryside here in Virginia really is beautiful no matter what road you take.  It has been especially interesting to see so many old, old homes with two, three or more chimney, something we do not see in the Southwest.  Yes, we do have some very old buildings, but they look a whole lot different than these old Colonial and Federal period homes.

Arrived at our campground around 2 p.m. and have a lovely spot toward the back of the campground where we plan to stay for the next couple of weeks while visiting Kathy's son Bill and family.  Bill and his youngest daughter came by tonight for a short visit while the other daughter was home studying for her final exams from 8th grade.

Tomorrow we will attend our granddaughter's graduation/award ceremony and spend the remainder of the weekend catching up with the family.  It has been 3 years since Kathy has seen her granddaughters and they certainly have grown up.  The oldest is 13 and the younger 10.
