Fall Festival!

Scott and I at the Pumpkin Patch

Beth and I picking Pumpkins


We had a great day today, and HOORAY for FALL being here!!! We got up early this morning and went out to western Maryland for our favorite Fall Festival. It was a wonderful day, and I just loved every single minute of it. It was Scott, my best friend Beth, and myself. Beth actually spent the night last night, so I had grade school sleepover flashbacks. Ha ha, except this time we were on my back deck enjoying Pinot Grigio, not kool-aid (which I still LOVE) by the way :)

This morning we started off at Starbucks for our favorite Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Then we headed out for about an 1.5 hour drive. It was just beautiful too. The leaves changing colors, the crisp air, the overcast sky, the smell of fall in the air....ahh it was awesome!!!

We walked several miles all around town, and got a great workout since we were in the mountains, hence these legs are super tired. We went to tons of yardsales, and ate amazing food!!! I think by 10 AM I'd already eaten 2 pieces of pizza, and Italian sausage sandwich, and had a Coke. The we walked by a stand that sold "butterfly fries" and Oh my GOODNESS! Let's just say I had enough salt and calories to feed an army today. We got some great deals today, and I can't wait to go back next year.

On the way home we decided to stop at a local Orchard and Pumpkin Patch. We got apple cider, ghords, large and small pumpkins, apple bread, and some fresh veggies. What a great day!!!

Great weekend

We had a great weekend. Saturday was very relaxed and I spent most of the day cooking and getting things accomplished around the house. Saturday night we hung out and made a campfire in our back yard at our fire pit and enjoyed great wine and conversation.

Sunday was one of the best days we've had in a long time. We went to Boordy, a local winery here in MD for their autumn-fest. We went with our good friends D and S. We packed a picnic basket with different cheeses, crackers, grapes, hummus, and home made pumpkin bread I made. It was AWESOME!! We bought different wines, enjoyed the Irish band, beautiful fall weather and good friends. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

And the best part was after the wine fest we all got to talking about vacations (we all went to Hawaii together in Nov. 2007) and decided it was time to plan the next adventure. So....we've decided to plan an all inclusive resort in the caribbean! Just need to do my research and choose an island now! WOO HOO :)
