Virginia

Jonathan and I went to visit his brother and sister-in-law in Lexington, Virginia last week. We had such a great time being with them and visiting their wonderful town! They were fantastic hosts and tour guides, as they showed us all the beauty that Rockbridge County has to offer!

The four of us at Washington and Lee University where they met and where Nathaniel is still in law school.


Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee University.

The campus was so beautiful with the old brick buildings and colorful trees!



We went to an applebutter festival at a nearby mill with local craftsmen, live bluegrass and homemade applebutter to sample.




You could take a turn stirring the applebutter. (It was good, but Mallory's homemade applebutter was better!)


Jonathan and I stopped at the Battle of Manassas on our way to Lexington from D.C. Jonathan absolutely loved this! I really enjoyed it too but Jonathan is the history buff of the 2 of us especially when it involves the civil war and the South!
