Day 26 - 8/7 - Front Royal, VA

Most mornings on travel days we take our time getting ready and packing up, especially when the next site is a short distance. This morning, knowing that I was going to see my sister, no one was moving fast enough.

But we were finally on the road and seventy miles seemed to take forever! Once we found our site in Front Royal and set up, we hit the road to the Barrel Oak Winery to meet Jeannie and Dennis for lunch.

Jeannie had called us to say the winery didn’t serve lunch, so she and Dennis made a stop at Wegman’s (an East Coast phenomenon that I haven’t yet experienced) for enough sandwiches and condiments for an army!

After a very relaxing and enjoyable lunch on the patio at the winery, and a personal tour by Rick Tagg, the wine maker, we transferred our luggage and went our separate ways; Pat and Keith back to the campsite, and Keith and I to Jeannie and Dennis’s for a short break.

Jeannie and Dennis live in the small town of Catlett, VA with ten acres of forest and a house built for entertainment and relaxation. We were disappointed to learn that they had a birthday party they had to attend that night and would Keith and I be OK having the house, pool, spa, etc. to ourselves for a few hours (darn!).

Sheer heaven!
