No?
Well... we did... and it was GORGEOUS.
See? Blue skies. Surrounded by mountains. Amazing weather. (No cell phone or internet service for 50 miles of the drive. Oh, wait. That wasn't all that good. Moving on.)
Oh... and we went WITHOUT the children. When does that ever happen???? Look how relaxed we look!
We (finally) pulled into the resort. What can you say but "WOW"?
The Homestead could not have been more breath taking. It was totally worth the long drive. (Although it's still questionable if it was worth a flat tire in Maryland and 50 miles of no cell service on Little Calf Pasture Highway.)
I could have taken photos all day.
Our room was lovely and quiet... and quite Colonial.
We settled in and then took a short walk around the grounds (well... the immediate grounds... the resort is HUGE).
Again, we just relaxed. It's rare to be able to take a leisurely walk and not chase children. We just strolled and took in the surroundings.
And then we got ready for the reason we actually came to the resort. Wedding!
So, on top of some time sans kids, beautiful weather and scenery, and relaxing... there were fancy clothes...
and cake.
I don't know. What do you think?
Sounds like a rather perfect weekend away.
(If you leave out that flat tire. And the lack of being able to contact anyone from Little Calf Pasture HWY, VA in the event that you were attacked by a bear... or a mountain man.)

Eric and I went to VA ALONE! in August too, it was serious question whether to come back or not. We figured someone would take our children.......
It seems VA is the place to go without kids. Haha.
It was really nice... and really hard to come back to the girls.
We have a trip planned for our anniversary. The girls will stay with my parents. So... we have that to look forward to!
See, I got hook at "WITHOUT the children" paused on the fab strappy sandles and sexy toenails AND you went and teased me with cake while somewhere along the way I saw luxurious accommodations...then one of my teen sons took their shoes off and the whole mood broke.
Yay you guys for getting away!
Ha ha! I suppose I will miss out on teenage boy feet. I have lovely teenage girl years to look forward to. I see more trips away without children in my future. Hopefully it'll help me rest up for those teen years!!!
Getting away was quite nice.
