Virginia/DC Vacation - Harrisonburg

While staying in Harrisonburg we enjoyed the warm hospitality of my daughter's friend, Megan.  Fantastic accommodations in the middle of historic downtown.  Megan lives in a loft, not the type of loft created by architects and designers, but a beautiful loft above the bicycle shop.

My morning coffee was from down the lane at the bakery

And was enjoyed behind the bicycle shop at the bridge over Black's Run

Back inside the loft

The eclectic decorating style that makes her place so charming

A table for two in the morning light

Our last morning started with a trip to the market

Where fresh vegetables were sold

And breakfast was served on the back of a Malibu
