Cari and I started talking about going to Virginia so that we could visit Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Other than that visit we initially didn't have anything else planned for our 3-4 day trip.
The week prior to leaving we added one or two other destinations to the list and created a rough route of our travels. Over the next week I'll be sharing some photos and stories from our trip.
Taking a vacation that is only loosely planned turned out to be excellent. We were never on much of a schedule so it was very casual and we never felt hurried to be at any place.
We left in the afternoon the first day and planned to make it to Danville, Va so our first day in Virginia wouldn't be such a long drive.
Making it to North Carolina wasn't a special occurrence but it was part of our adventure.
It didn't take much longer before we entered Virginia.
As we entered Danville and looked around for a hotel we decided it that it really wasn't the place we wanted to stay. It looked like at one point Danville was a busy industrial town, probably textile mills. Now it looks like everything is closed up and run down. We kept moving and found some dinner near Chatham, Va.
After dinner we kept heading North on Hwy 29 and found ourselves a nice place to stay in Lynchburg.
