Oh I do love to be beside the seaside

(except when it's lashing it down!)

Weather was pretty crappy yesterday so didn't see the point of driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in the clouds (the 2nd time we have bailed on the BRP) so drove over to the coast at Virginia Beach. Rained for most of the day, and the night, and the next day. Soooo glad we are not in tent - it's pretty cosy in here and with a good stack of TV stored up to watch we can hibernate through a few bad days of weather.

We did have an amazing lunch stop yesterday at the Devil's Backbone Brewery. We discovered Catty Wompus on our last trip and drove past many other breweries to seek the hallowed ale. Well worth the small detour for the Jin and Khronic bevy - just a pity I was driving. Still confused about the ice to keep your pee cold though - hope that's not part of the brewing process!Read more
