Today's favorite was easy considering Patrick and I just got back from a great weekend getaway to Charlottesville, Virginia. It's a beautiful college town located about 2 1/2 hours from D.C. and it was a well-needed reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our weekend was perfect with beautiful fall weather and all the quaintness of this great town.
We went to wineries, a UVA football game, dinner and drinks, an apple orchard, and just enjoyed each other's company. It's amazing how easy it is to get caught up by the mundane routines during the work week and not actually make the most of your time together as a couple. This weekend we laughed, acted goofy (with the help of some wine), and reconnected on the things that have been happening in our lives lately. We made goals and plans for our next adventures. We just relaxed.
I really hope every couple, married or not, gets a chance to getaway or just vary the normal routine to reconnect with each other. It was such a beneficial weekend for us to spend time together and fall in love a little bit more. As my grandma use to say,"Marriage is hard work. Make sure you're in it with someone who you can have fun, laugh, and continue to fall in love with as you go." I definitely have to agree with her and say that this weekend and my husband are two of my favorite things.
**Note: I don't mean for this to be too mushy or gag-me-like, but I felt like it'd be good to refer to Patrick in one of my daily favorites. ;) **
