Anniversary p.3

TO BE READ BEGINNING WITH THE SAFARI ENTRIES!


After pursuing the sound emitting from the passenger-front wheel, we found it was time to replace some brakes. Difficult to do amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains, we descended upon Roanoke and spent a few hours getting some brakes. (Sorry Dad, you'll have to visit again and we can go through the replacement of brakes again, because I forgot how to go about it.)

With ease of mind, we ascended to the land of wine and grapes at Valhalla. A year later, Kate and Jason appeared to be the only major change to have taken place.
With a year to look back on, and 35 of them for Mom and Dad to look back upon, we're excited to experience what is in store for our future. God knows what our lives will be like this time next year as we make the trek back up the mountain.

Anniversary weekend Spectaculaar

After the safari, we didn't even get out of the car and continued onto the Blue Ridge Mountains.

With a bunch of places to pull off, there were many chances to see this beautiful place that's just a few hours away, and that we've passed on so many trips.

Somewhat troubling, there was a sound emitting from the front passenger-side area near the wheel of the Elantra. Choosing to push-on, we continued to to explore.









Then it was onto the Bed 'n Breakfast that looked like something out of a 1980s summer-camp-horror-movie.









The place was pretty old and it shows as everything inside looks like it was made for little people. People were little back then.







The interior and breakfast (pictured) were pleasant though. Served with a delightful apple butter, the biscuits proved to be pretty tasty. The chunk of meat was good Virginia ham.









Our room was upstairs and also wasn't as creepy as the exterior made it out to be. It had a tub, but no shower so for our anniversary we were the smelly people upstairs. Also there was no lock on this door I'm holding, so we felt slightly more comfortable stacking a space heater, a stool, and numerous other trip hazards for whoever made the mistake of trying to take our stuff in the middle of the night.

Anniversary weekend

Here are some pictures of our Safari car-ride during our anniversary weekend. As you can see, as much as we tried to avoid the zebra, he was all about our steering wheel. Litigation is underway. No major damage was done to our vehicle. But we did notice a squeaking sound coming from near the front wheel. Strange...

Kate made a friend with a llama or an alpaca or something. It appreciated the food pellets we supplied. As you can see, there is a jealous llama/alpaca/water buffalo/dirt magnet in the distance.

My friend was very quiet and soft. I think I called him Roderick.
