Quick spring break breakaway, down to Charlottesville figuring the boys would like to go to Monticello. Girls, not so much, but…
I decided we would stay in what looks like a bit of a funked-up town a few miles away, Staunton. Unfortunately, it’s Easter and it’s not tourist season yet, so not as much in the way of live music or even open restaurants going, but it’s my kind of place anyway – an improving downtown, a burgeoning music scene, a beer culture, and a general crunchiness. It would provide for my morning walk requirements.
A cute downtown:
A comfy coffee shop to watch the world go by. Of course due to timing not much was going by…
Easter baskets…
Residential neighborhoods on the upswing.
With sweet little streets and cute Victorians being rehabbed.
My weakness: yellow houses. And my morning walk companion.
This porch has my name written all over it.
And cats. Lots of cats.
