Hot Springs, Virginia to Leesburg, Virginia


Ahhh, the trans Virginia drive. The most beautiful drive to date. After a morning walk in the Virginia woods to view the numerous and beautiful waterfalls, we adjourned to the Homestead Resort (Google Homestead Resort) with our hosts, the Wilson's, for a breakfast buffet par excellence. We were joined by NBC's Willard Scott (well not exactly, but he was in the room), and I watched to make sure he ate some Smuckers jam, (his sponsor). Charlie Wilson gave us some additional pointers for an in-route course adjustment and we left for the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thank you Charlie! Each day we are convinced the scenery can't get any better, but it always does.

We arrived that afternoon at Jamie Williams' farm outside Leesburg and were treated to a tour of this unique property overlooking and bordering on the Potomac River. What a great place to get away from the pressure cooker of the D.C. area.
