Weekend in Virginia

Only five months after our anniversary, we finally were able to get away for a weekend at a bed & breakfast in the Virginia wilderness. Of course, we brought our beautiful boy along as we could not leave him alone. We left on Friday and spent the night in a "Microtel," which is is true to the name, as it is really a small version of a hotel. On Saturday, we decided to take a detour to Charlottesville and visit Thomas Jefferson's residence, Monticello. The weather was uncharacteristically warm for March as it was almost 80 degrees! We had a great day taking Brady through Jefferson's home, although he lasted only a few minutes in the baby bjorn before he fell asleep! He is such a good boy and cooperates everywhere we go.



We got to our bed and breakfast around 4 and arrived just in time for wine and cheese. After a quick nap, we had a romantic dinner where we got to switch turns with Brady as he was extremely tired and wanted to be walked around, so we got to eat dinner in shifts! We were happy to have him there and dinner was fantastic. Our room was amazing as it had a large bed, fireplace and jacuzzi on the deck.



On Sunday, we had a fantastic breakfast of fresh blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon and danishes, it was amazing! Brady didn't have a good night of sleep so he slept through breakfast! After filling our bellies with wonderful food, we decided to take advantage of the surroundings and give Brayden his first hiking experience, which was also Daddy's first carrying him uphill. Once again, he slept most of the way up, but he enjoyed the weather and looked great doing it! Mommy and Daddy (and Brady) all had lunch in the middle of the forest and had a great time spending the day together.



Our weekend in Virginia was a true success and a fantastic time!
