Labor Day

Brent and I decided to take a day off from everything this weekend and take some time to be together. It was a wonderful day!

We decided to get in the car and drive up Route 15 with the end goal being to reach the cute little town of Fredrick, Maryland. We passed a ton of wineries on the way up and decided to stop at Tarara since neither of us have been there and it was a great choice. Such a beutiful winery with a lot of land and sprawling hills with lots of picnic locations and a great lake in the center of it all.

Ahhhhh Country Roads! The DC area is great in that you can be out the Virginia countryside in 30 minutes.

Love the Entrance, how do I get one of these in my house full of wine! I think it might last us a year.

The walkway to the tasting deck.

Long Bomb! Very fitting for the Long family


Rooney actually tried to take the BIG Black Labs rawhide! He was not successful but he did get treats from the Labs owners.

After the Winery we were still a little thirsty after walking around Frederick and decided to stop at a Brewery for something a little more Hoppy.

We got the sampler and our favorite was the Pale Ale....I can still taste it!

We continued our walk and found an angel looking out over the main street

We ended the day walking around the water...not picture here is our little guy actually jumping in a fountain that connects to this lovely river. I think Brent had a little something to do with Rooney "falling in" but he denies it. What do you think???

Hope you all had a great weekend! I love extra days off!
