With several days pretty open to see the town, we decided to walk around Main Street and see what's up....
some historic buildings, some historic HOT DOG cafes - SKEETERS, and ridiculously famous BOLING WILSON HOTEL right on Main and 'must be family' name. We couldn't resist going inside and found a very state of the art - Contemporary Design Hotel and Restaurant, with a Lookout Rooftop and amazing lobby, bar, restaurant AND FOOD! We, of course, made a reservation and continued plodding around town.
And, we lucked up to see a beautiful sunset from the rooftop! Facebook has us, but here we are again!

Many of these preserved houses here were once Boarding Houses, turned to School Houses, turned to Hotels, and turned into residences in the Historic District. Really interesting history in these parts.
Heck, by then it was afternoon - AND where to you go at 5 o'clock? Yes, A WINERY! We tracked down the closest winery, West Wind Farm & Winery, -- which was perfection and rated #6 of 252 wineries in VA -- and bought a case of wine and enjoyed the afternoon. I had no idea Virginia was a Winery State ... grapes everywhere! Wine everywhere!
