A short jaunt to Purcellville, VA

Leaving Lorton, VA, we braved the traffic on I-95 and I-495, then turned onto the Dulles tollway to Leesburg.  From there, the roads narrowed, dipped and turned.   We crossed two one-lane bridges coming close to meeting a Home Depot delivery truck in the middle of one of them!

Draping branches from old oaks that hugged the roads' edges brushed the sides of the coach.  More than once, we both wondered if the GPS was leading us astray, but thank goodness it remained trustworthy.

Our GPS led us right to the Wallace house!  We parked in their driveway!

We arrived at the Wallace's by about 2 p.m.  Gary and Kym treated us royally--and their pup Sophie was just as gracious.  Our boys, Gus & Woody made themselves at home quite quickly; Woody even helped himself to Sophie's food!

A little relaxation after dinner!

Thanks for the hospitality!
