A 24-Hour Mount Airy Pit Stop
A family trip from Florida to Virginia, stopping in Mount Airy for a quick, relaxing break in the home town of Andy Griffith, enabled us to stay at Heart & Soul for a very relaxing evening. Greeted by Chrysti, it was only a couple blocks walk into downtown where we had a delicious dinner at her recommended restaurant, the Northstate Winery. The next morning, she prepared what I can only describe as an absolutely fabulous breakfast. I'd give it a 20 on a scale of 1-10. We stayed in the Mt. Airy Suite, which is awesome and sleeping in there is like sleeping in a train museum. The next morning we rode a local trolly ($20) touring the town, providing great overview on Andy's life, family and friends. Where did "Mayberry" come from? I'm not saying. You'll have to come here to find out. You can walk by Floyd's barber shop and still get a haircut and later stop by Wally's gas station, though Wally, Gomer & Goober have moved into TV Land in the Sky--and tour the replica jail (free) right there next to Wally's.
Date of stay: May 2024
