I am a huge advocate for finding adventure wherever you can. This weekend, that meant meeting up with a few girlfriends in Floyd, VA. We rented out a little air bnb and decided to just hang out and explore what the town had to offer.
Let's start with where we stayed. It was a one-room cabin with three beds on a HUGE property. Our experience was a little weird, but that had to do with the host more so than anything else - although we did find an unsettling amount of spiders and bugs in the cabin. Other than that, it was great! It was the perfect place to watch trash TV, eat junk and kick back.
The house is on the left, and our little cabin where we stayed is on the right!
On Saturday, we decided to spend most of the day out on the town! The highlight was definitely the old country store! They had a little bit of everything - including a live bluegrass band! In fact, that was a recurring theme - live bluegrass everywhere.
The country store was part music hall, part cafe, part shop and...
part ice cream parlor! Next door (but connected by an archway inside) is an old school ice cream shop! It was awesome. Seriously delicious. And I love the sprinkles in a salt shaker. So clever and unique!
After a long day of shopping and fun, we headed back to the house and decided to explore. The land was gorgeous and we walked around a bit before settling in for a night of trashy TV and junk food.
All in all, this was a really fun weekend. It was a great way to get away, even just for a few days. See? Adventure doesn't always have to cost thousands of dollars and include a 10-hour plane ride.
I'd love to help you plan your next weekend away! Check out MilesIntoMemoriesTravel.com.
