Abingdon, VA Trip

I recently returned from a short family vacation with my family to the wonderful town of Abingdon, VA. We stayed at the Creeper' End Lodge, an outstanding cottage by the railroad and within walking distance of the charming downtown and the VA Creeper Trail. 


One interesting note, my wife and I attended the Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church. It was in walking distance of our cottage, but since it was raining, we drove. What an inspirational service! The people in the church were so kind and the sermon was thought provoking. It was a good way to start Sunday.  


Sunday night it snowed and the kids made a snowman and we had a snowball fight.  The snow was perfect for creating snowballs. The snow was just wet enough to give it some density for throwing.  

We had so much fun. The city offered so many shopping opportunities. The dining cuisine was excellent and varied.  My son and I ran on the VA Creeper Trail (more on that later).  The Barter Theatre is first rate.  My kids went bike riding on the VA Creeper Trail.  So many choices, so little time.

If you need a weekend getaway, I highly recommend Abingdon, VA and staying at the the Creeper's End Lodge. The link is http://www.virginiacreepersendlodgingabingdonva.com/
