Take time to smell the roses or eat the oranges.  It’s not only the destinations — the tailgates — but the journey that I love.  We live in such a great country from sea to shining sea, not only the beauty of the country but stopping to visit with the people.  Keep the campaign alive.  This week, leaving Tampa, I stopped for FRESH FLORIDA oranges and grapefruit and got a lesson on what a VT Hokie was.  And where the nickname globlers came from.  So next time on your travels, don’t ask “are we there yet?”  Ask “where can I get some great local food?”

Fresh Florida Oranges — the best.

Virginia Nation — want to know more, ask a Hokie.
