Most of Friday was spent driving through Virginia. As we got closer to the mountains we appreciated the scenary as we've been watching the Waltons on DVD's from Netflix. Hmm....we all wondered where Walton's mountain might have been. We expected to get to Grandpa's house around 2:00pm. But the GPS seems to calculate the arrival time based on the posted speed limits of the roads being traveled. We all wondered how on earth these twisty curvy roads could be traveled at 55 mph by any vehicle let alone one pulling a pop-up camper.
As we watched the GPS add more and more minutes to our destination time we did enjoy the land of Christmas trees! The boys were busy imagining which hills would be best to sleigh ride on.
Finally we get to Grandpa's! We haven't seen Grandpa in over five years. In honor of Good Friday we had a fish and chips dinner with hush puppies. The beautiful smokey mountains were in the backdrop.
We went to sleep to the sounds of peeping frogs and a babbling brook. We were up the next morning and on the road again but we were all very happy that we got at least a brief visit with Grandpa.
