It was another early start and another brief drive to Starbucks to pick up our coffees, whilst Madam chills in bed. Vick's contribution was to open the door to our room when I came back with the goods!

We decided to head back to Shenandoah Park. Back to try a different stretch of Skyline Drive from Swift Run Gap Entrance Station up to Skyland Resort.

We were both up around 5am when Starbucks opened up. By this time, I'd be banging on the door, but to save the 15 min walk along the noisy road, I offered to drive and pick up our favourite drinks, so we could enjoy them in bed.

We drove a short distance from the Skyline Drive to Waynesboro to find a nice little Starbucks with comfy seating indoors.

After a half-decent sleep was enjoyed by the both of us, we were looking forward to some time in Shenandoah National Park today.

Today was driving day! After 4 cold days in Washington DC, it was time to head south for some time in Charlottesville and Shenandoah National Park.
