We started the day by going to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (http://www.shenandoahmuseum.org/index.php). While sitting in the parking lot waiting for the museum to open Barbara suggested that maybe we should drive a bit farther today and stop farther south then what she had planned. She said she would need to get on her computer to do this and I said you can. So I got her computer out of the computer bag and got out our MiFi device and in just a few short minutes she was on the Comfort Inn website looking for a new motel for the night (isn’t technology just great?). After making a new reservation and cancelling the old one we went into the museum. It is a very nice small museum that shows the life of the first settlers of the Shenandoah Valley. The museum also houses part of the art collection of Julian Wood Glass Jr. who was the descendent of the founder of Winchester. Barbara’s favorite gallery was the one that contained the doll houses and miniature furniture made by R. Lee Taylor a man who worked for Julian Wood Glass Jr. during and after the restoration of Glen Burnie the family house that Julian inherited. If you are ever in Winchester Virginia it is worth a stop to go see. Of course I could not take any pictures in the museum or house and seeing as it was such a miserable day weather wise I did not stop to take any pictures of the garden.
After that we set out on our way. The drive was uneventful except for the rain and the trucks. Not that it was a heavy rain but it was just annoying, turn on the wipers, turn off the wipers, repeat…. Well we are in Wytheville Virginia for the night after a nice dinner at a Bob Evans, what can I say it was Bob Evans.
