Why I love spring

It's been a long winter for everyone and this weekend was the first real weekend that we could really get outside, and boy did we make the most of it. We did so many fun things, and here are some highlights.

First, on Friday we walked on the Downtown Mall and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon while hearing the beats of a random band on the corner and eating a delicious meal at Positively 4th Street. A was in his element...people and dogs galore to watch, lots of ladies to smile and giggle at, and a steady stream of food (from home and our plates). It was the first nice meal out we've all had together in a while and it was amazing.

Yesterday was mostly spent celebrating the nuptials of wonderful friends we've made since moving to town. A was well taken care of by DD so we could enjoy the afternoon and evening with our closest friends that live here but we never seem to get to see enough of.

Today was the icing on the cake of a fabulous weekend, as you will clearly see from the photo stream below. After Kyle split enough wood to heat half of Charlotesville, we packed up the fam and drove towards the mountains. We arrived at White Hall Vineyards and enjoyed the afternoon with a bottle of a delightful Chardonnay, snacks to keep everyone happy and playtime in the shade. Fella loved chasing the frisbee and playing with sticks while A was happy to explore. We wandered our way over to the old barn afterwards, and the daffodils were in full bloom.

While it was nothing crazy or exciting, this is my favorite thing about any season - getting to enjoy the treasures that are unique to that season. This weekend was the perfect spring weekend, and here's hoping for a few more.
