    I loved the new video. Marion is a beautiful town. My paint company works on the large yellow house in the background when you start walking. And then in Roanoke when you showed the railroad office building, it's actually apartments now. I have family there. So I really felt connected to that trip. Thanks for taking us along.

    After Williamsburg, check out historic Jamestown...they are both close together. And, maybe even Yorktown. Other interesting locations on that side of the state...if you drive up north from there over to Reedville, Virginia...you can hop a ferry over to Tangier Island. That would be a good jaunt. Another consideration would be after Jamestown/Yorktown head down to Virginia Beach and do the walk around there a bit. Next, consider driving up Route 13 up to Chincoteague/Assategue to see the wild horses, then Ocean City, Maryland. After that you may want to consider heading west towards Washington DC. Have fun!

    I love the pencil. I heard that inside is a huge pair of scissors & a ruler. The old home you showed would be a nice place for you & Dawn to have lunch, & see all the antiques they have in back. Red hot dogs are not unusual for the area, just different than what your use to. I loved seeing the murial & learning about Edith Wilson. Interesting her place of birth was above Skeeters. Did not know that. There are so many places you & Dawn can enjoy in Virginia.

    If and when you go to Missouri, to to St. Charles, just outside of St. Louis. It is really neat. It basically is one street alongside the Missouri River. It was settled in like the 1790s ( maybe?). There are shops and restaurants along the brick street. I went with my cousins and we had a really great time there. It is a great day trip. Have fun!!
