Blackbird Bakery, Bristol, VA
I love this photo. And I love the bakery in the photo!
Glen and I met Blackbird Bakery while driving home from vacationing in Virginia. There was a sign for the bakery on the interstate, and since we love to find new bakeries when we travel, we decided to try it. It quickly became a must-visit. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the personnel friendly.
On the day this picture was taken, we were on our way home and stopped to pick up some goodies to take home with us. (We are both aware that when we do this, some—occasionally none—of the goodies will make it home. It is a long 622 miles from the bakery to our front door, and the pastries smell so good! Well, you know the rest.)
Glen had gone into the bakery while I waited in the car because, for the last four years, our sweet beagle, Ellie, accompanied us on our trips. But Ellie couldn't go into the bakery, so as I looked at the reflection of the lights on the wet road, I knew I had to get out of the car and into the rain to snap this picture. It was well worth getting a little wet.
If you ever pass through Bristol, VA, stop at Blackbird Baker on Piedmont Avenue. You won't be disappointed!
