so, i went on a trip with my school last wednesday to staunton. va. and, i discovered the cutest town in virginia! and it's less than two hours from my house, which makes for a perfect day trip, i must say. so, i'm going to give an outline for a perfect day in staunton...
1. get a small group of friends together (small=4-6), grab your i-pods and a gas-efficient car and hit the road! head for downtown staunton. if you get to mary baldwin, your on the right track!
2. Arrive, park, and get walking! everything is quite convenient and walkable.
3. when you're feeling hungry, stop into the Frederick street cafe, baja bean company, irish alley Restarunt and pub, or beverley restraunt. all of which are on the main street, and have really good food for a reasonable price.
4. after you have a full tummy, hit the stores! and make sure you go into the antique stores! there are some cool things to find. and there's also a pretty cool thrift store.
5. after a couple hours of walking around the town, maybe you feel like just sitting down for a cup of coffee and a cookie? well, walk down East beverley, and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or a "coffee smoothie" at Coffee on the Corner.
6.time to go home? well make sure you drive by the giant watering can and flower pots before you leave!
good luck! and make sure you check the weather! the mountains can get pretty cold!
