Staycation

Here we are 5 years ago on the eve of our wedding. I will never forget waking up the next morning with so much peace in my heart.

To celebrate our anniversary, we’re traveling to a hotel . . . 8 blocks away.

We debated going to LA or Napa Valley. We talked about driving to the beaches of Wilmington, N.C. or the bustling streets of New York City. We dreamed about seeing the great state of Maine. But in the end we decided to follow the trend and take a staycation.

Since moving to Virginia last year, we’ve been working a lot – now it’s time to just relax and enjoy our little town.

So we’re having dinner at a restaurant that always catches our eye, but we haven’t made time to visit. And we’ll wander the streets with our dog (who I’m sure will be grateful to be with us instead of the kennel). When we first talked about booking a room in a hotel right around the corner I thought the idea sounded crazy. Now I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate.
