From NY to Shenandoah (Virginia), it was about a 5.5-hour drive. So we made some pit stops.
1) Philly. Gotta get Dalessandro’s cheesesteak!!!
2) Washington DC – Maine Avenue Fish Market – Captain White’s Seafood
Pleasant Pops Farmhouse Market & Cafe:
3) Front Royal, VA
Love the wooden tables with their unique shapes. Love the decor and everything in it! Loveeeeed my Valencian: orange zest, milk, espresso, mocha, happiness. GET THE VALENCIAN! Wish they had this in NYC!
And finally, we reached Shenandoah National Park.
Driving through Skyline Drive, we saw a lot of cyclists.
We stayed at the Big Meadows Lodge and went out at midnight to try to catch the stars. It was way too cloudy but we saw glimpses of the moon here and there. And a bunch of deer… in headlights… literally.
