Started out this morning heading to Harrisonburg, Virginia. Harrisonburg is home of James Madison University, but it is also home to the Virginia Quilt Museum. The museum opens at 10:00 and cost $8.00 to go through. Well worth the cost. It moved into it’s current location in 1996. It is in the Warren-Sipe House which was built in the late 1800’s.
The first exhibit was For Cradle and Crib.
They had some quilts that will be up for auction. You can go online and check those out.
I liked this exhibit: Quilts gone wild. Quilts that have animal names.
This exhibit is called Playland. I’m not really sure I understand these quilts.
These were some really old quilts they had in another room.
And finally there were lots of old sewing machines throughout the museum.
We left Harrisonburg and headed to Shenandoah National Park.We have driven by the park along I-81 but have never driven through the park. We needed to check that box, get our passport stamped and buy the Christmas ornament.
We had our customary peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the National Park lunch today.
Well we have checked the box, but we are not very impressed with Shenandoah. We saw one lone turkey for the wildlife today. We have some of the same beautiful hills and farmland right here in north Alabama.
We ended the day with dinner at one of our favorite places, Primanti Brothers- in Hagerstown , Maryland.
Look who poked their heads out tonight.
We are very close to Hershey, tomorrow might call for some chocolate.
