Words to live by were found in two unusual places:

In the Women’s shower room at our KOA in Natural Bridge (you have to look for inspiration in the strangest places sometimes) on a Sampler Replica decorating the wall (and you though it was going to be graffiti from the stall…).

Each Day is God’s Gift to You

Make it Blossom into a Thing of Beauty

and,

Graffiti found on a rock at a vista point on the I-64: Love Life

That is what we are trying to do with this trip, enjoy every day and make the best of what it brings.  Be thankful we are together to enjoy it.

Today was a travel and WalMart re-provision day, so there is not much to tell. We thought about going to Busch Gardens for their amazing beef in beer ribs – but park admission is almost $62 pp + $13 to park – those would be pretty expensive ribs!

We arrived safely at our Williamsburg KOA with it Coloniel theme and Fife/Drum music playing in the background.  We set up camp and planned our attack of Coloniel Williamsburg attraction tomorrow. I made a pot of spaghetti sauce and meatballs – soul food for us, since we haven’t had any for over 2 weeks! We will light our Jack O’Lantern tonight before it withers away to keep in the spirit. We will get a good night’s sleep and then “do” Williamsburg tomorrow. I promise pictures and more interesting commentary tomorrow…

In reading the promotional materials, I did come across a short story about the ghosts and hauntings for this region.  A contemporary author, L.B. Taylor, has written several books about the legends as has Pamela Kinney who also concentrates on tales encompassing Virginia’s Haunted Historic Triangle (Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown).  I may pick a couple books up while in the area – good Halloween fodder.
