Country Road Take Me Home
Here I am in West Virginia with my finacee Judy. It's her 40th birthday present to me. Two nights at a B&B and kayaking today. We're staying at the historic Carriage Inn in Charles Town, West Virginia. It's a restored home that dates to the 1830s and that was the site of a meeting between General Grant and General Sheridan when they drew up plans for the Shenendoa Valley campaign. The inn is quite quaint and homey with two lovely hosts, Donn and Marie Davis. Later on, we're heading to River Trails and Outfitters in Harpers Valley, West Virginia, where we'll take a kayak class and mini-trip. All in all it will be a nice weekend away, albeit short. The trek here and back is a long journey. It took 7 1/2 hours to get here - traffic at the GWB and on the NJ Tpke - and we'll have to leave early tomorrow to avoid traffic on the way back. Well, it's time to get ready for kayaking. I'll blog more later.
