Mike & Emily's Wedding

We just realized we never posted anything about Mike & Em's wedding. Suffice to say it was beautiful and we had a great time. It was also very nice to see all of our friends from Texas and New York. Ya'll should come down to DC more often!

NoVa: Part 2

On Sunday we went to the Shenandoah River Valley Museum which is a fancy museum building, a historical home and beautiful gardens.

Then we traveled out to 3 Foxes Vinyard and after a quick tour and a tasting spent some time on the top of this hill...

Wandering through the vinyard itself...

and ended up in a hammock by the little creek. We did also purchase a few bottles to take home and enjoy.

All in all a great birthday trip. THANK YOU husband!

Northern Virginia Trip

For my birthday we decided to go to Northern Virginia on a little history and winery trip. We decided on the city of Winchester and booked a hotel and a car. Once we got out there we spent Saturday wandering the city, the old town and a local cemetery with graves dating back to the Revolutionary War. We saw quite a few greyish red foxes and all in all had a great weekend.
