Yesterday we said goodbye to Norm and Vicki after a wonderful couple of weeks exploring with them. We will see them again down South this winter.
Wednesday Norm and Vicki rented a mini van and the five of us headed for Williamsburg. It is always a treat to wander the town, have a cheese and wine lunch at the cheese shop, make our usual stop at the chocolate shop, and just do a relaxed exploration of such a historic place. Thursday we headed out for the airport to drop off Avie (Vicki's Mom) but not before we made a stop at one of Avie's favorites, Dairy Queen, for lunch. After dropping off Avie we headed into Richmond for a driving tour of the city which Norm and Vicki have never seen. Then it was off to the Virginia State Fair. What a great fair it was! We wandered through dozens of tents with displays, animals of all kinds, (animal poop on our shoes) and our favorite, the tent with all the babies being born and the ones born earlier that day. That was way cool! After eating and exploring our way through the fair, we cleaned the poop off our shoes, made one last stop for giant cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and headed back to Urbanna. What a great day it was and what a wonderful time we had with Norm, Vicki, and Avie (what a great lady) these last few days. We said our sad goodbyes Friday morning, promised to meet up again down South, and September Song headed South to an anchorage on the East River off Mobjack Bay where we will be until Sunday when we head for Portsmouth, load on 1000 gallons of fuel, spend the night, and head South again Monday. Fall is beautiful on the Chesapeake, but it's getting chilly, so we need to keep the pointy end headed South.

OH! Almost forgot. Got the new camera. Let the photos begin!

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. I think we will stay in harbor today. Lets go to Williamsburg!
You haven't been to Williamsburg unless you have a wine and cheese lunch
