TWT Travel Binder: Virginia

Virginia, besides the fact that it’s ostensibly for lovers, is very close to our hearts.
My beloved aunt, uncle and cousin live 40 minutes outside D.C. in Reston,
and we’ve journeyed through pedestrian-friendly Charlottesville,
Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the Virginia Wine Country,
and just about the entire length of the mountain-edge Blue Ridge Parkway.
Someday, we’d love to see the horses run wild on Chincoteague Island,
on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
Here are some resources to help you plan your own “travels with two” to Virginia.

If you’re worried the best of Spring might pass you by, we’ve got a trip that will reconnect you not only to each other…but to the history of America, as well.
Drive yourselves from Washington, D.C. – Charlottesville, VA – Asheville, NC – Charleston, SC – Savannah, Georgia for full-blown immersion in mountains, flowers, forests, swamps, fine old homes, Low-Country cuisine and even wine from America’s oldest vines.
We reckon it’s time to jump on in the car and see the South for yourself.
