Adam's first trip to Wintergreen

This past weekend we headed up the mountain for Adam's first visit to Dogwood Road. Andy was able to get Friday off, so we left on Thursday afternoon for an extended weekend. It was great to have Andy around a few extras days!

Sadly, the traditional Wintergreen weather stuck around all weekend, so we were stuck with fog and rain, but we still enjoyed ourselves (we just didn't get some of the pictures we were hoping for a the overlooks and such, but there's always next time!)

On Friday, we visited a few of our favorite wineries (yay for me!) and actually enjoyed the chilly drizzly weather. We tasted some great wines and enjoyed our picnic of various cheeses, crackers and salami sandwiches-all great accompaniments to good wine!







At night we enjoyed great dinners and of course some awesome fires--always a highlight for Andy. Adam and Andy even played some "American Idol" on the Wii--always a highlight for me! :)




On Saturday we welcomed some visitors. First, my aunt (and Adam's Great Aunt) Anne came up from Charlottesville. She brought along Maddie for Liddy to play with. Ommy and Poppy also came up for the night. It was great to have the extra company and made our annual trip to Wintergreen's Oktoberfest that much more fun!





After Oktoberfest it was back to the house to cheer on the Hokies! We were very happy with their performance against Miami and were pleased to see another "W" added to their record.







It was a great weekend and we can't wait to head back and show Adam a sunnier Wintergreen! :)
