Southward Ho!
On August 10th, we'll leave for a less-than-epic road trip, but a road trip it is, so I'm excited. I'm excited enough to want to talk about it, so that's what I'm going to spend my time doing.
Here's the itinerary.
August 10 - Drive to Virginia to Shenandoah National Park. Camp on a cliff in the southern portion of the park. With any luck, see bears.
August 11 - Get up early to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway to Hot Springs, NC.
Night of August 11 - Soak it up in our hot tub filled with hot mineral water from the hot springs and watch movies in our private cabin by the Smokies.
