We finally made it back to Solomons and it's nice to be home. We spent last night in Waynesboro, Virgina right at the intersection of 81 and 64. I expected to stop, check in some cheap motel, grab a beer and eat at some indescribible chain restaurant, like Outback. We got lucky and found a very pleasant new Residence Inn at a reasonable rate and across the street was a terrific sensibly priced restaurant with well thought out food and wine menus called the South River Restaurant and Wine Shop. If you're ever traveling 81 or 64 and looking for a good stop, stop here. I know I will.
Quick thoughts on every place we stayed:
Richmond,VA - The Carytown area is a fun place to eat, drink, and walk. A little off the highway though.
Greenville,SC - Wonderful little city. I could live there. I always stop here when I'm on 85.
Destin,FL - Busy resort town with lots to do. Good for families.
Grayton Beach,FL - Very small old beach town. We got a place there next year for two months.
Rayne,LA - Good people, good fun. Would like to go there every Mardi Gras, if I could handle it.
Hot Springs,AR - Don't bother unless you like gardens or horse racing.
Tulsa, OK - Nah
Wichita,KA - Nope.
Louisville,KY - Definitely worth doing with a family or solo. Many things to see and do.
Waynesboro,VA - Nothing there except the South River Restaurant which is worth the stop.
Thanks for the travel log. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteTwo months in Florida next year? Wow!
Double D is in Grayton Beach, right?
Always love reading the blog. . . and traveling through your eyes. Lord knows I can't get "you know who" to go anywhere.
