Some of my favorite memories and belongings from this week ...
- I have taken on the role to re-organize my closet. This process has been a serious task I must admit. I stumbled upon my wedding shoes made by Menbur that were worn last year in March. On my wedding day I opted for gold beaded, lace flats, which matched perfectly with my Maggie Sottero wedding gown.
- Vintage earrings that my Dad picked up for me when he was on his Naval deployment in Spain. He bought them for me when I was 9 years old, and had my Mom put them away until I was old enough for them. The earrings came with a matching necklace, and on my wedding day I opted to wear them - obviously there were my something old, they were simply perfect. My Dad was so shocked that I decided to wear them, and it meant the world to him.
- Beautiful blooms in the Biltmore Estate Garden. G and I honeymooned at the Biltmore Estate, it is nestled in the mountains of Asheville, NC. The flowers were absolutely stunning and the scenery was breathtaking! G & I re-visited the estate for our one year anniversary, and did additional exurcsions and tours that we missed the first time around. It's such a peaceful and gorgeous place, also it doesn't hurt that there's a winery too! We are making it a plan to visit the estate once a year.
- Earlier this year, G and I were able to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC. It was one of the greatest and monumental experiences we had this year. We are definitely planning to go back for a second visit in the new year. The museum is bubbling with so much history, and it is truly an eye opening experience. We spent all day at the museum, and we made it our mission to see everything, ... but we absolutely need to go back, because we only saw 85% of that gorgeous building.
- Our visit to Potomac Point Winery in Stafford, VA last spring. Not only were the wines amazing, but the view, food, and winery were to die for. Potomac Point is definitely on our list of favorite wineries in Virginia! We love stopping at the winery on our way to visit my best friend and her husband.
