A while back my daughter suggested to my mom that we could get together more if we met for dinner halfway between our home in Lewisville, NC and mom’s in Radford, VA.  Last night we tested the theory by meeting in Fancy Gap, VA for dinner.  It ended up being an easy one hour drive up I-77 for us and an easy one hour drive down I-81 and I-77 for Mom and Bert.

We met Mom & Bert and the Lake View Restaurant (attached to the Lake View motel) and they even gave us our own private closet room.  Fancy Gap is right off the Blue Ridge Parkway on Rt. 52 and we decided to head home by heading south down 52 through Mt. Airy, the childhood home of Andy Griffith and my Aunt Judy. The first five miles of the return trip were downhill, as in literally downhill, so next time we’ll try and make it a lunch meeting so we can see the area in the daylight.  I have a feeling it’s beautiful.
