We took a trip to Blacksburg this weekend to visit my Dad. The Peanut did phenomenal on the 5 hour drive. The scenic route was beautiful. We spent 3 days (well 1 full day and 2 half days) with my Dad. Friday after a late, but, delicious dinner at an authentic Italian restaurant, we called it a night.
Up and at it early Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at a Waffle House (the husband had never had Waffle House and wanted to try it) and did some shopping. My Dad is a barber so after he closed shop, he took me on a motorcycle ride through the country... the views were breathtaking... and we had lunch at a sandwich shop. I had one of the best steak and cheese subs I've ever eaten. We made a pit stop to visit some of my step mom's family and then went to a winery off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The views... the pictures below don't do the views justice. They were beyond gorgeous.
Chatteau Morrisette was as gorgeous as the views. A historical building of sorts, the wine was local and tasty.
Sunday, we took the Peanut to a local pumpkin patch. She absolutely loved climbing through the Pumpkins. The animals... not so much. What a great experience for her, and for my Dad to get to see it.
We packed up and headed back home in time to see the Redskins win their first football game. Yes, my husband has turned our family into Redskin junkies. But what can I say, you do crazy things for love.
Enjoy the pics below.
