The 2011 convention of the International 190SL Group is in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Since we decide to drive, we take a test run to the beach followed by an oil change and safety check at Greggs Automotive.  On Friday afternoon we cruise to Ocala.

       
 

Stopping in Callahan, Florida for gas, we look for lunch.  Seeing three fast food chains, we pick one.  Unbeknownst, downstream is Cedar River Seafood and now we know the one in Lake City isn't alone.
At Walterboro, South Carolina we clean Love Bugs procured in South Georgia.

 
 
       
 

Registration is Monday and car judging is Tuesday.  Rain gets in the way, but we adapt and in the afternoon visit Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello.

 
       
 

The driving tour on Wednesday takes us to James Madison's home at Montpelier where Linda reads a book with James and Dolly.

 
       
 

Lunch is at Barboursville Vineyards.  Leaving the parking lot, The Dons stop for some repair work.

 
       
 

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway with its spectacular views on Thursday, we visit Veritas Vineyards, then lunch at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards.

 
       
 

The Awards Dinner is Thursday night as The Dons announce, "No ties!"
