Yep, the Frost Cafe was a touch of nostalgia with a bit of an industrial look to it. They had a very long counter over near the grill and a smaller one at the front window. In total, 28 seats at the counter. Each booth had their own little jukebox with old and new songs on it. The itty bitty black and white tile floors and red vinyl on the booths and stools added to that old feel. Cute place.... We just had a small bite to eat cause we wanted to save room for something tasty from the bakery we had spied as we came down the street. Knakal's Bakery was an old fashioned bakery, reminiscent of one that I had grown up with in Mansfield, PA. As soon as I walked through the door of this one it had that familiar smell of wonderful pastries, donuts and cakes. Linda got a coconut almond cookie that was really yummy and I got two donuts. The whole downtown area was really cute. Lots of neat shops and restaurants.
I'll upload more photos here when we have a better signal.We went back to get the bike and it was all ready when we arrived. The black clouds were rolling in so I wanted to get on the road before I got soaked. Was a nice ride back but it did sprinkle for a bit before I could get out from under the black cloud.
Later on in the evening Linda and I went for a ride up 211 on the motorcycle. This is the first time, since February that both of us have been out on the bike. It was a great night for a ride..still in the upper 80's and it was very pretty riding through the rolling Virginia foothills. We took a turn and went to the town of Washington, VA. The highway marker indicated that this is the "first" town named Washington, of the 28 towns with the same name in this country. It was actually surveyed and platted by who else but George Washington on this day in 1749. It is a very small but very cute town. 
Only about a 1/4 mile long from one end of town to the other but it has a real historic feel to it. Glad we took the side trip and checked it out. Happy 260th birthday to the town of Washington, VA !We continued on with our ride and stopped for some ice cream and then came home. A little while later the sky got real ominous and the wind started blowing. We made a dash for the rest room before the storm hit. (Since our black tank is off of the rig, we have to use the restroom here at the RV dealer. Kind of reminds me of staying at my uncle's camp as a child and the night trips to the outhouse out back.....fun !...NOT) Yep, it poured and kept it up for a little while. Then it stopped and we had a nice cool night for sleeping.
Hoping the parts arrive today so we can leave and get headed to NJ.
