Charlottesville ....

On Sunday, I went up to Charlottesville to visit with our son

who lives there.

 

I had been trying for awhile to go up there but either we were busy,

Jake was busy or it was raining!! Finally, we found a day to explore

around the Charlottesville area.

First up, I went with Jake to do his grocery shopping for the week.

 

Then we headed over to Blue Mountain Brewery for lunch.

this also was my first time of eating out since starting the Whole30 eating.

But I did fine, water, hamburger, no bun, and a side salad

it was very good.....and we enjoyed the 82 degrees by sitting out

on the patio for lunch

 

 

after lunch we headed up to Afton Mountain, Wintergreen ski resort,

and then the Blue Ridge parkway. We also went by Hump Rock mtn but

did not do the hike....maybe next time!

 

 

I'm showing Jake that I love the mountains...."this much"!! haha

 

then we went riding around Charlottesville......here Jake is

showing me "The Corner".....very cool section of the city with bars,

restaurants, coffee shops

 

and here's me almost the whole time snapping pictures

but the bad news is my camera is in desperate need of a cleaning

so my pictures have this crazy smudge down them. I'm sure it's a piece

of lint down in there.

 

 

We also drove around the University of Va a little....such a beautiful

campus. And we def had perfect weather for a day like today. It was 82 in

the city but as we went further up the mountains, the temps dropped

to 71.....and felt wonderful.

 

later.
