Went on What George Referred to as a Micro-Trip. Yes, Stayed in Virginia Beach.....

Started with a walk at Mount Trashmore, then a drive to the Ocean Front, late lunch at Anchor Allie's, and a coffee at Starbucks. Weather was about perfect with a slight chill in the air.

Mini-Trip to Parksley on Virginia's Eastern Shore.....

Saturday, January 3, 2016. Temperatues in the 40s, clear blue sky with a slight breeze. Parksley is about 80 miles north of Virginia Beach, a few miles west of Highway 13. 

How was the day? Terrific, weather was fine though a little nippy. Wouldn't mind visiting again when the weather's a little warmer. Also, would like to tour the railroad museum. Total miles, about 180. 











George doesn't like his picture snapped. He says he looks too old. Well, yes, he is old. Not sure about the too.

A Trip to Wachapreague on Virginia's Eastern Shore....

December 27, 2015. The day started off looking grim, overcast with fog. On the road about 10:30 and by 11:00 the sky was blue and the sun out. Temperatures ranged in the 60s and 70s. Total miles about 140.

The original plan was to go to Onley, though decided to try the Island House Restaurant in Wachapreague.

Wachapreague is known as The little City by the Sea and Flounder Capital of the World. Our State tourist booklet states a population of 250, which seems a little low.


I should have taken more snaps today!!!!!













Taken from the top of the restaurant. The City is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a series of barrier islands.

A Pleasant Day Trip to Smithfield, Virginia

Beautiful weather and a slow easy-going ride to Smithfield. We took the long way which was about 85 miles. Unfortunately, the first part of the trip I used my phone to take snaps which aren't included here. Yes, my first outing in trying to take some snaps.
