It’s been a while, but we hit the Virginia State Fair to take in all the rides and fair foods you can fit into a half day. We came, and we conquered – hitting all the rides, eating a fair share of treats and taking in a beautiful, sunny day!

Day Out with Thomas
It was our third day out with Thomas, and our first trip with the big Thomas and Friends fan – O! It was our first time meeting Thomas in Strasburg, and the celebration – and the weather – did not disappoint!
A Taste of Fall in Summer
We couldn’t quite wait until fall to enjoy one of the season’s best fruit – apples! We had them straight off the tree, infused into doughnuts, as apple cider and even hard cider at Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville.

Mother’s Day 2021
Compared with last Mother’s Day, we were a lot more active this year, with not one, but two outdoor destinations on the schedule. First up was Il Forno with a mom/grandmother reunion after 15 months, and the second was some fine Italian dining in Arlington.
