Road Trip!

Posted by Scott Holstad on April 11, 2014

We’re in Abingdon VA on our way to Maryland. We’re going to celebrate Gretchen’s 50th birthday with her family and friends. We’re also going to run around Baltimore and catch an Orioles game.

Last night, we stayed in a retro motel called the Alpine Motel. Sparse but comfy. I’m going to post a picture. Cheers!
