Carolina (and Atlanta!) on my mind---aka help us with our vacation!

On Monday, Jon and I are loading up the subi (our new subaru!!)*** and heading south. We're going to head down towards the Asheville/Hot Springs area, with intentions of camping and hiking the AT and enjoying the great outdoors.

We plan on hanging out in the mountains until Thursday morning when we are going to head in to town to check Asheville out. And then.....THAT EVENING We'll be heading to Atlanta to spend three glorious days with this fine lady


MTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so college
tubes!
Virginia wine makes besties the silliest
bridesmaiding it up at our wedding (9.5.9)

MTW and I have been friends going on 10 years. She's been there for the majority of my major adult (responsible and irresponsible) life decisions- heck she was with me on my first date with Jon! Were it not for her seal of approval, I might not be the happily married woman I am today!


I'm sure MTW is going to take good care of us in her home city, but I'm looking for Asheville/Hot Springs suggestions....Obviously, being the giant museum/historical house nerd that I am we are going to check out the Biltmore, but I wanted to put my feelers out and see if anyone out there has any suggestions?

*** the subi is just new to us, its actually a new used car, our first official big purchase as a couple---huzzah!!!

July Weekend

Hello!! How was your weekend? Jon and I went hiking and stayed at the farm this weekend. Our hike was cut short due to a thunderstorm and we ended up turning back after only a few miles. Since we had the a few free hours added to our afternoon we decided to do a little wine tasting at some nearby vineyards-- Sharp Rock and DuCard.... I might be biased, but I love Virginia wines.

Rappahannock County, Va


my favorite of our post hike photos- though totally unfortunate that the porta-potty is in the background


At Sharp Rock Vineyards

DuCard Vineyards just opened...they are in Madison and are fabulous

What are your favorite wines? Are they local? We are always looking to visit new vineyards!
