wintergreen weekend

We enjoyed this weekend with our friends Katy and Grace, Jason and baby Bryce. Justin's parents have a wonderful home at Wintergreen and they allowed us to use it over the weekend. It was extremely chilly but we had a great time together.




On Saturday morning we drove to Carter Mountain right outside of Charlottesville. We will learn for next year that apple picking should actually happen in September.

We set off with our bags in tow to pick some apples, only to find that they are almost completely gone. The granny smith's were all gone! We set off for some Fuji's and didn't have much luck.

We did find one itty bitty Bryce sized apple. How cute is this?

Truly one of the best parts of apple picking here is the food! These apple cider doughnuts and apple caramel cookies are a favorite every year. I have got to find a recipe for these cookies. They are amazing.

After apple picking was over we went to lunch and then headed to the Veritas winery. This is originally where I had wanted to have my wedding because they have a gorgeous ballroom draped in fabric. We did a wine tasting which was fun. Look at the mountains in the background!

Sidenote - I desperately need to get my hair done and lose 20 lbs!

On Saturday night Grace made everone a yummy chilli dish with fritos, cornbread, cheese and sour cream. Thanks Grace! Katy really loved it as you can see!
