The Road Home


In the shopping center near our Roanoke Hotel, we discovered a Smokey Bones BBQ. That's right, we're not done yet! Now, of course, Smokey Bones is a chain restaurant, but we thought it quite appropriate for our BBQ Tour to end with our familiar favorite. If nothing else, it would be a good comparison to Sonny's the other large chain frequented by the Bings on our tour...plus, we just had a hankerin' for those little donuts! (The diet starts tomorrow...not today ;-) )


On the way home, we decided to stop at the Natural Bridge. Bing had been wanting to check this out for years after passing the exit driving back and forth to Blacksburg for years. It was a great day for a detour and yet another chance to test out the new camera. After splurging one last time on BBQ, we needed to walk a bit anyway.


Bing got to drive his two FAVORITE interstates today. I-81 and I-66, although he didn't get to travel with the rest of the world (he only prefers these two roads when EVERYONE else gets the chance to share the road with him) it was everything he hoped it would be. Once we arrived home it was time to play with Kitty and take one last picture...
