A Delightful Mini-Trip To Smithfield, Virginia....

Speaking of the perfect day to get outta Dodge, this was it. The temperature was about 70 and off and on slightly overcast. We took the long way to Smithfield, going toward Suffolk, turned off of 58, then 460 to Wakefield, and then to Smithfield. Once out of Tidewater there was no traffic. As I'm posting a link to this on the Subaru XV forum, yes, there are two photos of my car. Could have posted this on my other blog, Blue Highways of Virginia...but, decided to post it here. Truly a great, enjoyable, and pleasant day.

Yes, as it says, Isle of Wight post office.

My meal, meatloaf.

Andre, our waiter, took this. Wow, am I getting old!

Yes, Rory's Story Cubes, a great....not a game. A lot of fun.

Yes, I was playing around if you will, and Pat was a good sport. Doesn't take much to excite an old man. When she sees this I'm sure she will nix it!

Yes, a stereotypical tourist snap. Full frame.

Pat's meal. Tomato bisque and some kind of fancy something or other on flat bread.

Amazing art center. The artists are here and you can visit and watch them paint and such. The two ladies who were there to greet visitors and offer assistance were terrific.
