Visit with my Best Friend from College

A few weekends ago my best friend, and best man in our wedding, made the trip down from Boston to visit us for a weekend and we had a blast! Enjoy the pics!


This is a delicious donut shop in Cville where the donuts are made out of potato flour. They were soooo good, especially the blueberry ones straight out from the fryer. Yum!
 

You can't come to our neck of the woods without a visit to Monticello to see TJ's home. Here my buddy is kickin' it with Mr. Jefferson himself.


We took the opportunity to visit two new wineries and at this first one, Blenheim Vineyards owned by Dave Matthews, Oakley was allowed to have free reign of the tasting room. It was quite fun to have him in there, though a little distracting as he explored till his little heart was content. So fun! He was wonderful and they were VERY welcoming to dogs.
 

This is on the patio of the Trump Winery, owned by Donald Trump, and though Oakley wasn't allowed inside here we still had a great time.

On Sunday we went to watch a Polo match at King Family Vineyards. The weather was lovely and the Rose wine was soooo good.
 

Cheers!
 

One of my regrets of living on the Northshore of Boston for 6+ years was that I never made it to a Polo match at the Myopia Hunt Club. So we didn't want to make that same mistake here in VA. It was so cool to see the players/horses up close after the game and to walk out onto the pitch/field and replace divots (sp?). 

We had a great visit and look forward to the next one!!
