What better excuse to head out of the city for 24 hours to take in the beautiful greening forests and sunny (windy) hills of northern Virgina. Only an hour away we rented a cabin in the Front Royal range and had an expansive, unobstructed deck (and bedroom) view to enjoy time away with just the family. Of course Adrian is always the center of attention but he was a great sport playing along with us to visit the historic civil war town, dine at a nice Mediterranean cafe, spend the afternoon wine tasting at a local vineyard, and then heading back into town for a very nice (restless) romantic local home cooked gourmet celebration dinner.
Our Mothers Day started with a nice card and gifts, a simple eggs/pancake diner meal at the local Apple House and then a wonderful 4 hour hike in one of the forests near the Appalachian trail. Aside from a cold front coming in and requiring us to break out the hats and jackets again, plenty of sunshine, fresh nature smells and air reinvigorated us to return to our lives back in the city.
