Driving to Atlanta

I planned our trip to Atlanta as a two-day drive with a scenic interlude on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Briefly, we drove south on I-81 to I-77 toward North Carolina, exiting the interstate at Fancy Gap, VA and taking the Parkway southward.

We spent the night at a Best Western in Boone, NC where we had the view pictured here. In the morning we got back on the Parkway, stopped a number of times to look at the scenery, had lunch at Crabtree Meadows and made our way to US 221 South and (eventually) I-85 west to Atlanta, getting there around dinner time.

It was a long drive and I wished I had allowed more time to enjoy the sights.
