Yesterday morning dawned cooler, cloudy and very windy. We met for a quick breakfast in the lobby, checked our cars over, loaded up and were off by 8:30 headed for Charlottesville, VA.
Garmin was our guide as we travelled the back roads of northern NC. and southern VA. The azaleas were blooming and the dogwoods scattered through the woods were so beautiful! We decided to grab an early lunch to beat the church crowd. So, about 11:15 we pulled into a Cracker Barrel for lunch. It seemed that everyone else had the same idea. It was packed! We were in no hurry, so the 35 minute wait was no problem.
After a great Sunday dinner, we were back in the cars headed up the road for our destination. We arrived at the Doubletree Hotel about 4 and quickly found many friends from all over the country. The parking lot was full of Model A's! A right hand drive was spotted by another in our group. I'll have to find the owner and meet him/her sometime this week. You just don't see very many of these.
Below are a few snapshots of cars in the parking lot:

We enjoyed the Executive Lounge before heading out to check out the parking lot and button up the cars for the night. So many beautiful A's!
We decided we were just too tired to go anywhere, so we opted for the hotel dining room and John and I split a salad. We discussed having a picnic at Monticello, but are concerned that the rain maybe upon us in the midday. Well prepare for the picnic, but have a backup plan if there is no covered picnic area.
It was off to bed by 9. We are looking forward to our adventure beginning this morning!
