I am so thankful that my parents are here to visit for an entire week. And I'm especially thankful that I have the whole week off work. My district is in school until Wednesday, but my supervisor gave me this week off so that I could spend the time with my parents. We haven't seen each other in nearly 6 months, and it's wonderful to have this time together!
Today we ventured up the Blue Ridge Parkway to one of our favorite wineries to visit...
Chateau Morrisette!
The weather here is surprisingly warmer than usual, and today was also a bit cloudy. It wasn't crowded at all this afternoon, and we were the only ones on our tour. We had a great tour guide, and we enjoyed getting to hear all about how the wine is made.
After the tour we got to do a tasting of the wines.
We tried nearly a dozen different wines and each ranked our favorites.
It wasn't long before we got to meet the two winery dogs! Chateau Morrisette is famous for their love of dogs, and these dogs were very sweet.
On the way home we stopped at a lookout off the Parkway, and took a few pictures. This is such a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
We've had a relaxing afternoon today, and I'm so thankful for this time to kick back. We're not sure what the next few days will be like depending on the weather, but I know we'll have a great time no matter what. Happy Thanksgiving Week!!!
