Besides moving in August, and MANY HOURS of unpacking, moving things around, working on our guest bathroom, and making at least 10 trips to Home Depot or Lowe's, we had a few really fun days with friends and family.
On Labor Day, we went with friends to Breaux Vineyards in Purcelville, Virginia. It was a beautiful, one-hour drive from DC to the vineyard, and the $10 tasting was fun. We then spent a few hours on the patio with a picnic lunch and we bought two bottles of wine to share: a 2011 Jolie Blond and a 2005 Merlot. I highly recommend a day at Breaux!
My little niece, B, hanging out on our porch during move-in weekend. She enjoys the southern charm of our front porch as much as I do! She likes to look in each window and count the columns. I measured her against our baby lemon tree (not pictured), and they are about the same height. I wonder if the lemon tree can keep up with her....
Two of our favorite people got hitched in August in Amherst, MA. Andy and Becca looked amazing and threw a music-filled bash. My favorite parts were seeing Becca in her Vera Wang dress, watching them get hoisted into the air on chairs during the dancing, secretly decorating their room with rose petals, and chilling at the end of the night on the beautiful deck in front of the fireplace at The Lord Jeffrey Inn (a great wedding location)!
September promises to be a busy month as well: moving things out of storage from Massachusetts to Maryland, fixing up the guest bathroom, and organizing our linen closets and just about every other room in the house.
