Saturday was a wonderful day! We decided to take the convertible for a drive in the country to enjoy every moment of it.
We visited Damascus, Virginia, along the Virginia Creeper Trail and the Appalachian Trail, and several other trails.
We had a lovely early dinner outside by the waterfall at the Damascus Old Mill.
We were hoping to hear one of our friends, Lightnin' Charlie, perform live music this evening, but we misremembered the dates. His performance was the evening before.
Ducks came to rest by the water's edge as we were leaving.
Upstream, more ducks were teaching their young ones how to find food and not get too close to the edge.
I wore the beautiful bangle bracelet, which my friend Lois surprised me with earlier this week.
Our next stop along our journey was the 'World's Shortest Tunnel' through Backbone Rock on Hwy 133 between Shady Valley, TN, and Damascus, VA. It was constructed in 1901 for hauling timber from Tennessee to a nearby sawmill outside of Damascus.
My hair was cut this week, but after a day in a convertible, it looked better from the back than the front.
The turquoise knit top is from Belk. The white ankle pants are from Chico's. The Adrienne Vittadini sandals were from T.J.Maxx last year.
This visit brought back memories of a ten-mile hike alone on a sunny day several years ago. I hiked for several miles along the Appalachian Trail, stopping here in this park later in the day to hike over this rock formation and on to a nearby waterfall in the woods. I feel so blessed to now have Mr. Mickey to share my adventures with.

What a beautiful outing! Makes me want to move to your neck of the woods. Looks like a nice day for a ride in a convertible. My granddaughter calls a convertible a car with no lid. Love the turquoise top on you.
We love it there. We have ridden bikes on the Creeper Trail many times!
