Southern Camping Trip 2024 / Day 3

2 February 2024

Kings Dominion Campground 

Richmond, VA

Sunset at Kings Dominion

It almost feels like Vermont here in Virginia.

Marc-  Today we traveled from Western to Eastern Virginia and crossed Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Our first stop was a long return visit to Patchwork Plus.  Sue will detail that visit.  The road trip was uneventful and we arrived at our campground at 3:30.  We walked around the campground and to the gate to Kings Dominion Amusement Park.  The Park was closed.  The campsites are in a pine forest and quite nice.  Sue and I played jumbo checkers outside. 

Now this would be nice for CODA.

Our first sign of Spring

Sue- If you ever get near Dayton, VA, you need to go to Patchwork Plus.  It says it is the largest quilt store in VA, and Better Homes & Gardens calls it one of the top 10 quilt shops in the US.  It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's glorious inside.  We spent a lot of money in there.  Coda will get her wish for a new quilt (the one Marc is posing with).  And we bought the materials to make the birdhouse quilt in the photo above (it is just 15 x 15).  

Looks like there are several quilt shops in the Myrtle Beach area, our next stop.  We'll be there for a week, we can check them all out!
