Charlottesville, VA

We'd been home over a month and we wanted to take Gigantor out for another spin. We also wanted to go back to Charottesville and taking Tor seemed a good idea. We had stayed at Keswick Hall outside of town last May and got rained out of our round of golf and we wanted to use our rain check. There's also the the most fabulous discount designer fabric store in downtown Charlottesville and I wanted to reupholster our living room sofas that had gotten beyond shabby chic. And it's October and even though we have had a disarmingly warm fall, the foliage should be great.

We had reserved a spot at an RV and hotel resort called Shenandoah Crossing in Gordonsville. It's about a 20 minute drive into Charlottesville from there, so we reserved a car at Enterprise to get us back and forth to town.

We had stayed at another BlueGreen Resort in the Wisconsin Dells which was okay, but when we arrived at this one, we liked it much better even on first glance. It's centered around an equestrian facility, has a hotel, restaurant, golf course, cabins, townhouses, a small RV facility nestled in the woods and what looks like thousands of acres of forests and trails.

We get settled and head into town to The Second Yard on Market Street near the pedestrian mall. I'm in heaven...Rick sits and reads a book. I'm only doing reconnaissance this afternoon...tomorrow I will come back for the big shop.
