wine tasting adventures, vol. II

Our latest pursuit of good wine and great company took us to Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards, which is (in my humble opinion), the best vineyard we have in the area.  It has AMAZING views and the atmosphere is perfect for buying a bottle of wine and a cheese plate and chatting for hours with friends.  Not to mention, Pippin is my absolute favorite wedding venue in Charlottesville...and if by some miracle I can afford to get married there, I will die a happy gal.


& a few of my favorite Pippin Weddings...


(But really, I love all the weddings there...)

beautiful things || isle of palms sunrise

As I've said before, this blog is for documenting adventures.  Originally, that meant new adventures, but I've since decided I'll do some throwbacks as well.  Today, I was thinking about an old(er) one; I've been craving the beach intensely and one of my favorite things to do in nostalgic times is go through old pictures.  Thus, today we have some photos from a Christmas break adventure to Isle of Palms, South Carolina. 

We stayed at Wild Dunes (which is about 40 minutes away from Charleston--aka my new obsession) and, though it was December, the weather was so perfect.  One thing you'll learn about me is that I love sunrises, so every time I go to the beach I try to get up one morning to see one.  This Isle of Palms trip was no exception!  
Really wishing I could be there right about now...

graduation countdown nostalgia


you get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place...like you'll not only miss the people you love 
but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and place, because you'll never be this way ever again
 -azar nafisi


a little over a month until graduation and I am starting to PANIC.  
this place...these people...this me...
there's just so much to miss.

listening || andrew belle

spring puts me into the most romantic mood...and something about this song just speaks to that perfectly.
