Memorial Day 2008

The thoughts of heading down to the beach and drinking ourselves silly over Memorial Day weekend are nothing but sweet memories these days. Instead of waking up each day with a raging headache, we found ourselves this weekend waking up and looking for something fun and "family-oriented" to do with the little one. Still tired of course, due to the consistent lack of a full night's sleep :)


After searching around on the web and looking for something fun to do with the baby, we decided to get out of the hustle and bustle of DC and spend a few hours wine tasting. Although we typcially like to hit up 2-3 on an afternoon, we figured spending a few hours at one, tasting some wine and having some lunch, would do the trick. We found this great little spot, brand new to the Virginia wine tasting scence, called Barrel Oak Winery. Memorial Day was their Grand Opening weekend, so we figured why not try it out. It was beautiful, and pet friendly! They had some great wines for their first vintage- a great Viognier, a really tasty house red called Bowhouse Red (Bow, for the doggy), and some great dessert wines too, one infused with chocolate.

Anyways, EV had a great time too, enjoying the fresh air and smelling the grapes :)
