What a great day in the Virginia Blue Ridge area! We drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway (stunning), visited the Mabry Mill (which is gorgeous and really interesting), and then headed down to Galax where the 79th Old Fiddlers Convention is being held this week.

We then headed to the Blue Ridge Music Center where there is a great display about blue grass and old time traditional music. While there we enjoyed listening to the Buck Mountain Band playing, and they were superb. We bought one of their CD’s and listened to it back on the Blue Ridge Parkway; it doesn’t get better than that!
