A Very Special THANK YOU to Hampton Inn in Salem, Virginia
A special THANKS to Lynn LaDuke & her Hampton Team for the Balloon Goodies Basket that was waiting in our room when we checked in and for making our stay one that we won't forget! This is one of the neatest Hampton Inns and you will see why in the upcoming videos of this place. We did go to the Virginia Museum of Transportation and it was a neat place to explore. We took lots of video and pictures of that place also. Below are the links to the photo albums on my FB page of this Hampton & Virginia Museum of Transportation. We will get Mill Mt. Zoo on our next trip as we didn't get up there to enjoy that this time. Thanks again to GM Blane and Front Desk Manager Lynn for everything. My family & I really appreciate all of you! Your Hamptonality shines brightly! :)
