Wednesday February 21st
To celebrate Gretchen's seventieth birthday, I planned a short getaway. We went to Waynesboro for a few days and stayed at the Iris Inn. On Wednesday, we traveled to Staunton and spent a few hours exploring the downtown. It has a much more funky vibe than we expected! With no research, we chose the Farmhouse Kitchen and Wares for lunch, and it was excellent! After checking into the Inn, we discovered they have an excellent happy hour which we enjoyed nightly with some neat folks from Maryland, and Virginia.
Thursday
Today, we had reservations for lunch at Barboursville Vineyards. It was a cloudy but rainless day so we were able to walk around the vineyard and ruins.
Lunch at the Palladio Restaurant was gourmet as usual....always a treat! We bought a bottle of their Octagon which we will save for our 50th anniversary since it is a young wine just released. We also found their Barbera Reserve is excellent....so we bought a bottle of that as well...not to save!
I ponder the numbers in this blog, and I realize that life with you Gretchen has been long and wonderful! Plus, it appears we have many adventures yet to come. Love you lots!
