Birthday Celebration

 Saturday 11/7

We’re going to Abingdon to celebrate the November birthdays of Gary, David and me!  Many thanks to Laurel for coordinating this activity with Emily and Gretchen.  We arrived late afternoon in time to walk around downtown before eating dinner at Jacks.


Next stop was the Abingdon Theater to see the play, Sherlock Homes.  The play was absolutely wonderful; an intriguing story and great actors! We all really enjoyed it! 


On Sunday morning, we drove west to Mendota to ride the Mendota Trail (12.5 mi) that runs east to Bristol.  We started here because a storm had dropped several trees across the trail and they had to hire a professional tree service to clear the area.  We could ride seven miles east from Mendota which resulted in a really nice 14 mile round trip.


In the evening, we had a superb dinner at the Three Sisters American Grill in the Martha Washington Inn. What a wonderful birthday celebration this has been with the Double Nickels! I hope it becomes an annual tradition!!

It was time to drive home Monday Morning.  We did stop at the Southwest Virginia Cultural Center before we left Abingdon.  It has been enlarged since Gretchen and my last visit.  It is a gallery for local artists, a concert venue in addition to providing travel information!
