Yorktown - Putting it all together

What a great day! We slept in, took our time getting ready, and both felt odd doing it. For so long now, everything has been rush here, quick do this, hurry up to do that, etc. There was nothing to be done until we picked up the bikes and gear from UPS at 2:00. Grayson suggested we go to lunch at the No Frills Bar & Grill in Norfolk. After such at great dinner at Cora's the night before, how could we refuse? It definitely lived up to its recommendation. Fabulous sandwiches and I really loved my side of sauteed spinach.
After lunch, we headed off to the dreaded Walmart. Normally, Jeff and I avoid giant establishments like the plague, so I cannot tell you the last time either of us has crossed through a WM doorway. Armed with food for camping, camp fuel, and a few other last minute items, we made our exit as quickly as possible.
Off to UPS we went with our fingers crossed that 1) the packages were really there even though the website said they were, and 2) there wasn't any significant damage to any of the boxes, and therefore, the delicate cargo inside. Our fears were quickly relieved even though it was blatantly obvious that the "This side up" signs were completely ignored. Oh well.
Then it was on to Yorktown and the Duke of York Motor Motel. What a great place! Every room has a water view. We hauled all of the boxes into our room and got to work with the reconstruction. Apart from a misaligned brake pad on my bike and some damaged cable housings on Jeff's, there really wasn't any damage to be seen.
Grayson and Beth called a little while later. They had generously offered to shuttle us back to Yorktown after we dropped the rental F150 back at the Norfolk airport. Dinner was also on the list and we settled on a great pizza/beer place called Cogan's.
Now it is time to hit the sack. Though we have scheduled a short day for tomorow, there are still many details to take care of. Not the least of which is that the phone # of the campsite where we wanted to stay tomorrow night is incorrect. We'll figure it out, I'm not worried about it.
We cannot say enough how fun it has been to hang out with Grayson and Beth. They have gone WAY out of of their way to be sure that we are all ready to head out. Thanks a million, y'all, and we will gladly return the favor anytime!
