This was a leisurely morning. We didn't have to be in Waterford, VA until 2:30. We had a McDonald's breakfast then came back to the hotel and packed the car and all our stuff. We were on the road by 9:30. We did not stop for lunch but instead chose to drive straight to the venue. Traffic was on our side, we did well on the bridges and roads. Our Easy Pass worked for us once again ringing up a $4 toll on the Delaware bridge and $4 for the Delaware TPK which is a ripoff. The ride through the VA countryside was beautiful. The weather was perfect and the Fall colors were nice. After crossing a long iron bridge, the Google GPS said "Welcome to Virginia". Haven't heard that before. The Farm house was spectacular in a beautiful setting. Kristen never came over to greet us but Josh did. Holly was also pretty civil. i enjoyed some time with Daryll. which was a surprise. His sister Sue turned 70 last week and is a delight. We did a Swing dance stealthily since we weren't supposed to dance for some reason.
We sat at a table with the Guenthers, Condons and Hollisters in addition to Michael and Sasha and Darryl's sister Sue. Dinner was a nice buffet. We had many glasses of wine and Carne Asada with all the trimmings. I especially liked the pepper and onions which the caterer said was ammde with Poblana peppers. it poured rain at around 5 before they could cut the cake but all cleared up and the cake was cut. I had Apple pie instead of cake.

We left at around 7 and checked into our hotel in Leesburg VA about 7 miles away. it was a beautiful Comfort inn which was luxurious compared to the Hotel ML in NJ. Everything sparkled. I rained lightly as we made our way to the hotel in the dark but everything worked out well.
