What to Do

Obviously, the main thing you’re going to want to do while in Blacksburg is go to our wedding. But let’s say that you have a little bit of time to kill and don’t fancy sitting around in the Holiday Inn …

Where to Eat

After Alyson left for Blacksburg, both she and Ken felt the situation was unacceptable. Less than three months later, this happened.
