My birthday!

My birthday was on a Saturday this year and it was a lovely day! I decided to drive 2-1/2 hours one-way to the Green Valley Book Fair near Harrisonburg, Virginia. It's a beautiful drive and I love having any excuse to buy books. :)

After the book fair it was time for lunch. I decided to eat at an Amish market just outside Harrisonburg. I don't remember what I ate but I remember liking it!

Inside of the Amish market they have different stores where you can buy different types of things. I bought what is in the picture above. The chips and popcorn I snacked on on my way home.

 Delicious fudge from the Amish market!

On the drive home, I decided to drive on a two lane road that parallels I-81 and goes through small towns and the speed limit is slower.

I'm glad I drove on the two lane road because I could enjoy the scenery more!

The scenery was beautiful!

 It was a really nice day that Saturday!

I've driven passed this ruin multiple times and have always wanted to find it and walk around it. This was as close as I could get to it. I tried to find a road to lead me to it, but there wasn't one that I felt comfortable going on by myself. So being stopped across the freeway from it had to suffice.

My friend, Diana, baked a cake and invited some of my friends over to her house for a birthday celebration for me. This is the cake she made.

Overall it was a lovely day of books, delicious food, beautiful scenery, and good friends!
