- Shenandoah & Skyline Parkway
I'm sort of skipping back and forth here, and I hope you will stay with me.  I wrote about Philly, driving over to Gettysburg and then south to Front Royal, VA, so now I will tell you that Skyline Drive is a gorgeous route.  A little over...

- Philadelphia, 2nd Day
Ara, Steph and I got an early start to visit the Magic Gardens, an incredible exhibit of mosaics, sculpture, old salvaged pieces, and you name it.  It is put together in a wonderful museum with gardens and upper and lower levels - almost overpowering. ...
