we recommend the place...please take a look
the sobotta manor inn and its serene gardens
did i mention the bath...a claw tub...i dream of having one someday
our stroll into mayberry...first stop the jail
our first meal, old north state winery...amazing...topped off with live music and a VIP tour of the winery
next stop, shelton vinyards...north carolina's largest...400 acres...13 types of grapes.
fermenting barrels and wine tasting...curt's favorite...wink...wink...
have a look at those grapes...they were huge
the vines went on forever...it was spectacular
after shelton's we headed to the blue ridge parkway...next stop the mabry mill.
yes...it was that peaceful
curt and the whiskey still...he learned to make a run of moonshine (and you thought he was in seminary), to top it off he bought a book about the process.
after the mill, we headed to chateau morrisette, breathtaking vines located on the hills of the blue ridge moutains, sorry no pictures, but take our word...amazing. next thing dinner, and then the drive-in. the movie was horrible, but the experience was fun!
sunday arrived, but the adventures continued on. we had one more stop...the yadkin river...our mission, a three hour kayak voyage...
we had a blast...our motto--those who play together, stay together!!!
i will leave you guys with one last picture, this was the closer for the anniversary...i made a replica of our wedding cake topper (we ate the real one at six months, we didn't want to travel with it).
thanks for being a part of our first year of marriage.
