FALL!!

It has been a long month full of activity and events that I had absolutely no time to write about it. I missed blogging so much and am back, I promise! It's amazing how it becomes an outlet, like running,  you need to do it in order feel good during the day.

Fall, is my favorite time of year!  I love sweaters, leaves, apples, halloween and Thanksgiving! I love it so much that we got married in the fall right before Thanksgiving. This weekend we did a ton a Fall filled activities. This picture will go up in our house, I love it!

Saturday morning Brent and I with my Parents and Rooney headed out to the beautiful Virginia Countryside to our favorite farm, Great Country Farms for Pumpkin Picking, Hayrides and Kettle Corn!

 Great Family Photo! We don't have many other than from the wedding so It's great to have one full of fall colors.

 This pumpkin has the shape of an apple and looks really cute on our fireplace. I also snagged a cinderella pumpkin which you will see when I finish the fireplace decorations and when I cook it up for pie in November!

 Dad, holding down our pumpkin selections to make sure no one else snags one of them.

 Of course Rooney found a place a to dig, luckily Dad's chair didn't fall into the hole!

 Brent is working on his Old Spice video in hopes that he lands their next commercial.

 My Guys!

 Afterwards we headed up the Hill to the winery that the Great Country Farm Family opened a few years ago. Amazing View!

Sunday was a change of pace and we took Rooney to meet his new life long friend, Bailey Bear. Brent's Mom got a golden retriever puppy a few weeks ago and along with Bailey Bears older brother Pooh Bear, Rooney was double teamed! They had a great time and Rooney slept from 5pm till about 9am this morning! It was a great break.

Take me out to the Ball game

Take me out with the crowd, buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks...

I love baseball games, not really for the baseball but for the atmosphere! Sitting outside on a beautiful night with a beer and some peanuts, well it just doesn't get much better than that.

We were a little late to the game because I had a 5:30 client but we got there in the 3rd Inning which was just fine with me. 6 more innings is a good amount of baseball watching for me.

Fantastic baseball park!

Mmmmm, nice cold beer.

Game Over and unfortunately the Nats lost, not really surprised but still a bummer.

I have the morning off today so I am looking forward to a nice run in the cool weather!

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!
