My wife and I left Virginia Beach at 9:00 am on Labor day. What a great day!!! We headed up Indian River Road to 64 and pointed the bike towards Yorktown. As soon as we could we left the Interstate and got on route 17 north. This took us all way to Yorktown and the Colonial Parkway. We traveled the parkway at a leisurely pace stopping often to take pictures and just enjoy the day. We rode the entire parkway to Jamestown. We made a quick stop at the visitor center and then headed over to the ferry, 78 miles at this point. We timed it perfect, we got in line at 11:15 and the ferry leaves at 11:30.
When we left the ferry we rode up route 31 to route 10 and went to the Carriage house restaurant in Surry. Unfortunately it is closed on Mondays. So we traveled down route 10 to Smithfield. On the historic main street of Smithfield we ate at the Smithfield Confectionery & Ice Cream Parlor. Hot ham and cheese sub with chips and sweet tea. Great service, Great food, and a great price. Highly recommended.
After Lunch we continued down route 10 to route 32 and then turned right onto route 17 into Portsmouth. We made a quick stop at Bayside HD to stretch , and then continued down Fredrick blvd thru Deep Creek and down Cedar road and out Mount Pleasant back to Virginia Beach and home.
All in all a perfect day. 152 miles total trip
