Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane!
Hey Susie. Thanks for the quick comment. I'm taking a buyers on tour in Round Hill tomorrow. I love this area of Loudoun County.
So glad you enjoyed the tour.
Lenn - I look at this blog and it makes me want to say "AAAAaaaaahhhhh" <sign> what a beautiful place! (and always love your maps)
Lenn - great post. Wonderful maps (what else is new?) and pics.
We go to Fairfax County to see my husband's family periodically. Last time we were there, my sister in law took us wine tasting. All I remember is that it was west of where we were (Oakton, Springfield, Fairfax Station). Would that be in Loudon County, or further west? Wherever we were, it was just gorgeous.
