On our way home from our northern travels, Daisy and I decided to go to the Shenandoah National Park and drive south on Skyline Drive. This national park was built in large part by the CCC and dedicated by FDR in 1939. I've attached a couple of pictures--they do not really show the beauty of the place. At one point a big deer ran across the road in front of us but too quickly to get a picture.
If you ever get a chance to tavel this scenic route or the Blue Ridge Parkway (further south), you will not regret it. But be prepared for slow travel--the speed limit is 35 mph -- to protect you and the wildlife.
It's Daisy's and my first morning home in 2 and a half weeks. It's as if we never left -- except for the mounds of laundry and half-unpacked suitcases scattered around 3 rooms. We will have a quiet day today and clean up a bit! For the weekend, we're driving to Wilmington, NC, to visit friends for a few days.
My blog posts will be less frequent until we depart of our big trip on September 4.
