Virginia 2007
Charlottesville After our two day drive across the Country via Nashville went by pretty quickly. We arrived in Richmond to see one of the final American Idols shows down in the bar as our TV in the room didn't get Fox. The next morning we went to ...
pictures!
Well I fially made it back to VA! The plane trips and airport ordeals were a breeze compared to my trip down to San Juan, they didn't even ask about my cigars which makes me wish I had tried to get real Cubans through. Oh well, I'm back with many ...
Efes Pilsen in Charlottesville
... buy 2 weeks worth of groceries and cook/bake/microwave every night. I have only gone to the one Korean restaurant in Charlottesville once because I have no friends to go with me. There's also a tea/hookah place downtown called Tea Bazaar that ...
After Mystic Point to Maryland
It has probably been a week since I wrote in my Blog, but I am hoping now that we are on the road again, and sort of re-grouped, I will make entries more often. I left off at Mystic Point, as it just got more and more hectic. We raced through ...
TJ's Monticello
What is Charlottesville known for, besides the home of University of Virginia? Monticello! Monticello was Thomas Jefferson's estate in the late 18th/early 19th century, located about 15 minutes from the UVA campus. We parked our cars in the parking ...
Catch Up Day
We spend the day shopping for new bed sheets. Our back up pair are worn out. On the north side of downtown Charlottesville is a nice mall. We buy new sheets at JC Penny at a bargain price. Molly and Woody can stand another jaunt through the park. They ...
Dog days...continued
Hi...Dooz here. The day started off crappy for me. It rained and then rained again. At one point it was a full on thunderstorm which I HATE! I tried to play it cool but eventually the fear won out and I plowed my way as far as I could into the front ...
Aaand back in Charlottesville
After an emotional roller coaster in DC over the weekend, I arrived in Charlottesville via Greyhound around 8pm last night. Nobody in my program seemed to back except for Mary, who stayed here over the weekend. We watched Harry Potter 3 on her ...
The house that Jefferson built...and we visited
Okay, so today we decided we would go and see the house of the famous founding father Thomas Jefferson, AKA; Monticello. We purchased tickets, took a shuttle bus up to the main house and patiently waited for, oh, over a half an hour for our tour to ...
Virginia Is For Lovers
... enough to leave Lauren unsettled for hours after. I could sense how they relaxed and perked up as we entered Charlottesville, I was thrilled as we entered Jay and Amanda's condo- air conditioning is the greatest of human inventions, especially ...
And we're off...
Generally, I prefer to pack before the morning of the trip, but given how crazy things have been recently, I found myself still packing this morning... Laura came by about 10, and we started the familiar drive home. Weather: 100° F and sunny Pictures ...

Drunkeness and Frat Boys
Um....yeah. Red wine, pinot noir, is my new friend. Got rowdy with Aaron and Luca. Kelly and Ed made an appearance as well. Went to the UVA vs William and Mary because we got free tickets from a gentleman named Davies. He had walked in on us smoking and ...
It's so bright
Can't believe I have a few days of sun now. And it is a relief since today I finally rode the Skyline Drive from Front Royal to Waynesboro. It's only 105 mi but when the limit is 35mph, you have ample opportunity to enjoy the vistas. It would not be ...
Spectacular views
Today we drove about 70 miles of Skyline drive starting at the Rockfish Gap entrance at the southern end of Shenandoah National Park. The park brochure says there are about 80 outlooks and I think think we hit about 40 of them! Each view is ...

... off it to Crabtree falls before powering up to it and triumphantly hopping around a bit. It’s my last night in the United States. We’ve conquered the AT but it’s getting late and we’re starving so we hit Blue Mountain ...
On the road again...
Okay, so we didn't really DO much today, we just took a short, two and a half hour drive from our campground, where we've been the past three days, and to Charlottsville and our campground here. We took a drive and walked around a local free concert and ...
