It's amazing how cold, cold really feels after spending two months in Florida. We made our way back to York with a long drive from South Carolina and we felt the bitter cold the whole way to our bones. Our bodies adjusted over the two weeks in PA, but it was definitely a transition.
Our time in York went quickly. We went apple picking, carved pumpkins, hunted archery, and hiked at Rocky Ridge. It was nice to truly experience the things we so love about Fall. It was also nice to pick up some warmer clothes! Swim suits and shorts were not warm enough for the temps in York! We also got to stop by our land along the Codorus. We did some clean up and enjoyed a cook out while getting to see some friends. It was definitely different being back in the fast paced life of York. That was something none of us missed. We have come to enjoy the relaxed pace life on the road has offered us.
In a whirlwind trip, we were back on the road again heading south to North Carolina. Our first stop was at Misty Mountain Campground in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since we didn't bring our camper this trip, we were camping out old-school. It was fun camping in a tent again, and the campground was beautiful and extremely nice. I think we'll be staying there on our next trip north. 
We took the next day to visit the campus of the University of Virginia. It is a beautiful institution with so much history. Founded by Thomas Jefferson and the school of Edgar Allen Poe, it was a place I got to visit as a kid since my aunt and uncle attended there. We had a delicious lunch and we also explored the bookstore. We drove around the city, but honestly we were tired from traveling and just didn't have much sight-seeing energy. We picked up some food and went back to the campground to relax.
Our next stop heading south was Bristol. This is a unique city split between Virginia and Tennessee. It is know as the birthplace of Country Music. For those Nascar Fans, we stayed less than a half mile from Bristol Motor Speedway. We were the only camper in the campground which is normally bursting at the seams on a race day. We didn't have time this trip, but we hope to do our tour of the speedway soon.
So after Bristol, we headed over the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina to settle in our new home for the next month. Welcome to Brevard!
