Another week has gone by and we are still having a great time. Today we spent part of the day of the Blue Ridge Parkway that starts in Virigina. It rained most of the first 50 miles and then there were many miles of fog. Once the sun came out, it was beautiful. The leaves are incredible. We're spending the night in Roanke, Virginia before we head to Athens, Georgia to visit Andy and Gayle Horne for a few days. We'll start again in the morning on the Parkway and see how long we can stay on it before getting back on the interstate.

Janet has decided that we didn't spend enough time in Virginia Beach. There is so much to see and not enough time. We'll return again when we can spend at least a week. Colonial Williamsburg had a lot to see but we were too late for the main tour of the day. The Boardwalk in front of our condo at Virginia Beach was a wonderful place to walk on the Atlantic Ocean.

Amish country in Pennsylvania was nice. However, we were spoiled after being in Amish country in Indiana and also in Harrisonburg, Virginia. We also went to the Hershey Center in Hershey, PA to find out how Hershey candy is made. It sure was hard to decide on what to buy!!! So much chocolate and so many calories!!!

Wednesday night we spent with Dick's friends Jim and Jane Steele in Harrisonburg, VA. On the way to Jim and Jane's from Amish Country we went to the Gettysburg Visitor's Center and drove on Skyline Drive to see the Shenandoah Mountains. What an great place to see our history and see more beautiful fall leaves. After arriving at Jim and Jane's house, they took us to a wonderful local restaurant for dinner.

Last Sunday we were in Mystic, Connecticut visiting Dick's friend Alexis. She gave us a wonderful tour of the area and showed us several places where Mystic Pizza was filmed. After our tour we enjoyed a homemade lobster dinner. It was a great visit.

Hope you are all doing well. We'll report later.
