We dropped Logan off at jumpstart school on our way out of town this morning and headed for the tollway. We passed by Harrisburg, the capital of PA, turned south through a bit of Maryland, West Virginia and into Virginia. After a lunch at Chik-fil-a we drove into the countryside in search of one of Virginia's 162 wineries. While driving we actually drove down a three mile stretch of one lane gravel road.
We found one of the oldest wineries in the state, Shenandoah Winery and enjoyed a complete tasting of whites and reds. We bought one of their signature reds and a white for Marilyn and stayed on the country roads. We found an old covered bridge used to cross the north fork of the Shenandoah River.
We continued our drive to Harrisonburg, VA down US Highway 11 and spotted many old buildings such as barns, wayside gas stations and mansions. It was great to see the mountains in the background down the Shenandoah Valley as we drove into town. We brought rain with us as the area has been very dry this summer. A quick downpour cooled the temperature down from the 90's to a comfortable 70's. We ate and called it a night. Tomorrow we drive to Tennessee and spend a couple of day's with Gary's brother Mark.
