It’s been a bit since my last entry. That’s because my husband and I have been on a little working vacation. We just got back from trip to visit the oldest of our kids and her family in Virginia. While we were there, we spent a bunch of time in the wonderful, artistic community of Floyd, Virgina which is just a few miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway. One of the most striking things about Floyd is how integrated arts and music are in their everyday activities.
We stayed at the Hotel Floyd which has 14 rooms, furnished with locally made furniture and art (right down to the tiles in the bathroom). Additionally, Hotel Floyd was constructed utilizing many “green” construction materials, technologies and methods. Each room is gorgeous and carries the theme of a particular favorite Floyd attraction.


We had a great time in Floyd and can’t wait to get back again.
