Walking Around Lexington
We started this morning at the crack of 10:40 am with a walk around the hotel neighborhood and then headed into downtown Lexington, home to both VMI and Washington & Lee. Charming and fun college town. The campuses couldn’t be more different even though they are smack up against each other.
Although VMI’s grounds were stark and severe, we never had so many “Good morning, ladies” with hats tipped in our lives!
Lots of history in this town, including Stonewall Jackson’s house.
Special Guest Appearance
Today we were so excited to have a special guest join us for a lunch engagement. Chris Campbell made a special appearance. Here we are:
Back On The Road
We only had time for one stop so it had to be a really special one. Here it is, the world’s second largest pencil!!
It was everything we’d hoped for!!! We hope you agree.
Asheville
We arrive in Asheville and immediately require a feeding. Glenda – always very, very busy in the passenger seat – googled, open-tabled, trip advisored and found a great restaurant called Table. Fun cocktails, interesting menu and delicious food.
Found our way to our hotel after dinner, a way-too-hip-for-us millennial spot. Everyone we’ve seen is between 25 and 35. And we saw this sign by the elevator but don’t get it. Can anyone out there explain? Millennials, we need your help!!!
Woohee, so much fun. And what fantastic weather you are having for this leg of your trip. Keep those pictures (and stamps) coming, especially the headlamp ones, they are so flattering!
The headlamp was especially flattering! Looking forward to another opportunity to wear it before the trip is over…but who needs a special day? Could be tomorrow!!
Hi!
Finally checking the blog…….love it!! I think Area of Refuge is on your way to your room to relax and sleep?? Love the big pencil and the history lessons!
xo
Good idea Ger on the refuge question. Do you think all millennial run hotels offer refuge floors and spaces? Thanks for checking in!!
I agree! Pencilicious!
Indeed!!
“Area Of Refuge”… Holy Mother Of Pearl!
