Heather and I decided to get out of town and celebrate our 3rd year Anniversary at a Bed & Breakfast... nothing new, we do it each year.
We found one in Virginia, about an hour North of Charlottesville... on a FARM!
The Brightwood Farm is a working farm. They have chickens, goats, donkeys and a dogs guarding them.
They also grow herbs, grapes, elderberries and Lord only knows what else.
5 years ago, they converted an old hippy A-frame into a beautiful cottage. It has a view directly down the hill into the Robinson River, and was very cozy and fun. We made fires in the woodstove, read out on the covered deck, cooked breakfast each day in the full kitchen (with the items in a huge basket that they provided). We could have opted to have them bring breakfast to us, but had way more fun cooking.
The woodstove made it so hot one night we had to open windows to cool off and get back to sleep!
A tiny mouse, also staying in the cottage, ate the rest of a muffin I left out on the countertop.. but we never saw the little critter.
We went for a hike along skyline drive down to a waterfall. We even had a chance to hike on the Appalachian trail for a bit.
The hike was beautiful and according to Heather, was uphill both ways!!! I hadn't noticed, but now that she mentions it.. it was!
=)
We drove the hour down to Charlottesville for a wonderful dinner at the BoatHouse restaurant and had some steak that melted in our mouths!
The owners of the farm gave us a bottle of elderberry wine that they had bottled themselves.
All in all.. it was a wonderful Anniversary trip... and I am very grateful for Heather and our 3years!
Here are just a few shots of the trip.. if you want to view more.. follow this link:
