Old Money Vacationing

2 min read

This past weekend Lisa and I spent Friday and Saturday at "The Greenbriar Resort." The Greenbriar is a very old, high society type of resort. While there you can go hunting, fly fishing, golfing, falconry, hunt-style horseback riding, and, probably, a whole lot more. The main building was built in the early 1900's and has been the vacation destination of really wealthy people ever since. In fact, it hides a bunker underneath it's luxurious facade that was intended to protect Congress in case of WW3 (it was declassified back in 1992). Now you can take a tour of the bunker and learn all sorts of neat facts about the facility. For instance, in WW2, the Greenbriar served as an internment camp for European prisoners of war.

I didn't take many photos and I didn't really do anything while I was there other than walk around and read. Lisa was there to work so I got to share her room for free. The place is really expensive so I didn't do anything that would cost us any extra money. Perhaps, someday, we will go back when we can afford to do something there. Overall it was still a nice relaxing day for me as I tried to not think about work.
