This past fall, we drove over to Skyline Drive in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. We went more or less on a whim, and arrived too late to drive the entire length of it. Yet we definitely got our money’s worth of beautiful autumn foliage. On our way in, the ranger on duty warned us that […]

Apple House in Linden, VA
Coming up, I’ll be posting some pictures of a trip Joe and I took to Skyline Drive this past fall, but before doing that, I wanted to briefly mention this place called Apple House that we stumbled across by accident. We were getting gas before entering Skyline Drive, having made a completely random turn off […]
Trip to touristy Gulf bits
When we were at Fort Walton Beach, we used a weekend day to go over to a little resort-y tourist-y part of town that’s right on the Gulf. Not much to say about it, other than it was touristy, overrun with hotels and booze and families, and still not that walkable. Or maybe I just […]
Fort Walton Beach, Florida

VDOT Workers’ Memorial
We stumbled across a gorgeous overlook, which happens to be the VDOT Workers’ Memorial. What a pretty place, that Virginia.
Jefferson Pools
On the way back from the Homestead, we stopped by the very reason the Homestead was founded where it was. The Jefferson Pools are a local attraction, and a real treat in winter. The hot spring that feeds the baths keeps the water at a cozy 98 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, a little sulfuric natural phenomenon […]
