Others I know probably would have griped and complained about having to do this because of the long drive, but I had actually been looking forward to it. I needed a change of pace and scenery.
Whenever I have to go out to Front Royal for work, which is not often, I get excited because for one, I don't have to face much traffic; it's a long drive with time to myself to think and pray, or do whatever. And two, because I like seeing the mountains and empty spaces, the country homes, feeling the fresh air, and encountering people who actually greet me and say hello when I walk up to the checkout counter.
The office there is pretty quiet. There aren't a lot of people who work in it, and it's desolate and peaceful. Symbolic of it's surrounding counterparts.
Sometimes, it makes me want to move out there.
I snapped a few photos in the area I was. They're not great. In fact, not even good. But enough to give you a glimpse of the beauty that's right around the corner from the hussle and bussle of D.C.!
And yes, some of them were snapped while I was driving. I know...
Driving down the road to our office.
A golf course along the side of the road.
The mountains. Ahhh...
I took a shot of this because I liked that this 7-Eleven had part-stone siding.
Heaven on earth.

Looks like my kind of area! Love the mountains and the "country." Glad you got to enjoy your drive.
