Stopping for pizza

 

We've been visiting my sister in Pennsylvania this week (and I set this week's posts up last weekend to appear while I've been gone).  I'm sure we've had a wonderful time.

We're heading back today - back to older son who stayed home for work and Music Man rehearsals, and to take care of recovering kitty. 

About the time this post appears, we'll be stopping at Bottoms Up Pizza in Richmond, VA for lunch.  We usually eat a picnic lunch when we travel, but we found this wonderful pizza place last March when we visited Richmond.  It's tucked in where I-95 and the railroads all come together.   The first picture shows I-95 overhead behind the pizza place, and the second shows the outdoor seating with elevated train tracks in the back.

If you're familiar with I-95 (with friends and relatives in the northeast, I've been quite familiar with it since we moved to NC long ago), you'll know the clock tower in the old railroad station (which is in use again!) that's right next to the highway (right). For decades, this clock tower has been my favorite thing on the drive.

The pizza place is a block or two from the station.  The bottom photo is the view looking out from the second floor of the train station towards the area where the pizza place is.

We'll be bringing some pizza back for older son.

We did have a wonderful vacation (and when I dig out from under the housework, rest of the unpacking, and running daughter to camp, I may blog about it (grin))!

Mmm. Bottoms Up. I went to college in Richmond, and it's one of my favorite pizza places anywhere.

We were so happy to find it!
