Clicking around Google Maps late one night, I stumbled upon the Genesee Brew House -- 5 hours and 20 minutes -or- 333 miles away from me. I knew immediately that I had to go.

 I'm SO excited to report one of my photos appears on this year’s official DOO-WW magnet! |
 I finally had the chance to explore the beautiful and remarkable Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park in Virginia! |
