After a morning of fun helping Becky organize the nursery, Morena and I hit the road, and we rolled into Harrisonburg, Va just before 3:00. After a quick run into the visitor's center, we headed across to the Quilt Museum, something that we both thought we'd find to be enjoyable.
Wish I could share some pictures, but photography was not allowed. A bit disappointing to us both. There were several quilts from the Civil War era as well as some modern quilts displayed that showed off some newer techniques, including using photos printed on fabric. Quilts that preserved memories from the past in a beautiful intricate pattern. Really stunning.
The weather today was outstanding! A beautiful blue sky with nary a cloud to be seen! Morena and I decided that the town's charm was partly due to the lovely weather which allowed us to enjoy its real beauty.
We are staying at the Stonewall Jackson Inn, in the Belle Boyd room, named after the woman who was apparently a confederate spy who reported directly to Stonewall himself. According to the sign outside of the B&B, we are guaranteed a "Night's Delight and a Breakfast to Remember!" We're just delighted to have had such a gorgeous day, a great dinner at Union Station, and hopefully, a good night's sleep, before hitting the road for home tomorrow!
Sounds like a lovely day. Good weather can sometimes make all right with the world!
