Photo courtesy of WikipediaI spent my last weekend in Virginia driving south on the BlueRidge Parkway to Roanoke and Mt Airy, NC. The picture above is Pilot Mountain (Mt Pilot) It was a beautiful drive and I hope to bring Mr Bankerchick back for some real touring and camping. Mt Airy, NC is a lovely small town, the birth place of Andy Griffith, and setting for the fictitious Mayberry. It has a small museum dedicated to Andy with memorabilia from his career. I also went to the Market Square in Roanoke, a large market and craft center every weekend. Had lunch in a smart restaurant 202 Market and had Paella for lunch, the chef was making it right at the street in a HUGE skillet and it was delish, all for $10.00.
Sounds like a great weekend and I love the photo. :)
