Ok now that I've said that, I'm finally able to catch up and fill you in on our road trip with photos from my phone! I did take pictures on my nice camera as well but I haven't uploaded them on my computer yet.
Our trip consisted of going to Maryland to visit Alecia and Nick, then Haymarket, VA to see Casey and Jakob. It was so fun and of course went by waaaaay too fast. This recap may be a little choppy because I was switching from phone to camera so some pictures may be a tad jumpy but hey! It's my blog so I guess it's my rules ;)
Unfortunately I don't have pics on my phone from our time in Maryland. We still had so much fun though including but not limited to: My FIRST Chick-Fil-A experience (amazing), drinking out of "turtle shells", trivia and coming into last place (A for effort?), and a winery!
Our second half of our second day we drove to VA. Casey & Jakob's house is adorable and definitely gave me lots of decorating inspiration. Their house is Pinterest come to life, I swear!
The first night we went to a movie theater that serves dinner and drinks! We saw "The Girl on the Train" and I had a delicious wrap and adult milkshake to go with it. I wish we had one of these types of movie theaters in our area!
Our first full day there we explored the cutest little town of Middleburg followed by some wineries.
This market was adorable and had lots of local goods. Next time we visit I would love to have lunch here!
I loved the vibe of Middleburg. It kind of reminded me of Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls! We even went into a store that has a dog named Tiffany.
After getting coffee and walking around it was time to hit up the wineries!
The first winery had all reds. I love a good red so this winery was right up our alley! My FAVORITE winery was the second one though.
Yes, there was a dog here too so obviously it was my favorite. Not only that but it was also a cidery along with the winery. I actually liked the cider better than the wine! (gasp!). They had about 10-12 different ciders to try and all were delicious! The best part was that after we tried them all the woman who was pouring (and owner of the dog) let us mix and match our own flavors to test out. I forgot which two I mixed but in the end I ordered a pint of the blackberry cider to sip while we hung out.
We even got to tour the barrel room which was super cool. I think a barrel is only $1,400? I say only sarcastically because when we were here (and maybe a tad tipsy) we joked that we would happily buy a barrel! ;)
Next stop was Barrel Oak Winery where we tasted and ordered glasses of wine to drink outside because it was gorgeous out.
59 felt so warm!

After a long day of walking around and drinking wine, we headed to a mexican place for a quick dinner then did a haunted maze. I WISH I had pictures from this. It was so funny and yes...scary! It was actually pretty long too. It took about 20-25 minutes to go through the entire maze. Luckily, Casey was brave and led us the whole time ;)
Full Day #2 consisted of walking around in Leesburg which was another little town that had lots of antique shops. I ended up buying a couple things for my mom and a wooden sign for me that says "Farm to Table". I just loved the rustic look of it and knew exactly where I would hang it up at our place. For lunch on this day we went to a cafe called Roots and while we went there with the intention of only getting a snack, we each ended up ordering a full lunch. I had a very good roasted turkey sandwich and pumpkin spice latte.
On Sunday before we left, Casey and Jakob took us to one of their staples called Trummer's and oh my....this cafe did not disappoint.
Benson and I split a breakfast panini which had ham, eggs, tomatoes, and gouda. My drink was called viennese eis cafe which was icecream and cold brew blended together. It was the perfect way to end such a fun trip!
We were sad to end our trip and our drive home was pretty gloomy and rainy. Once we got home Riley was not so happy that we had left him for 5 days. Dylan however was happy to see us!
All in all it was a fabulous 5 days and I'm glad we were able to visit with everyone. Can't wait to do it again!
