Spring is here...literally!

It doesn't get much prettier than spring in Charlottesville!  Dogwood, cherry trees, forsythia, redbud...and of course the flowers!  Daffodil, crocus all over lawns, and fresh green sprouts in all the flowerbeds.  It's nice to see!  I am headed to a Festival of the Book luncheon on Thursday with Afton Mountain Bed & Breakfast, Iris Inn, and Foxfield Inn to hear Douglas Brinkley.  SO many great authors in town this week - and it happens every year.  Festival of the Book, Festival of the Photograph, and the Virginia Film Festival...I should probably make a calendar...adding that to my to-do list right now. 

In celebration of spring, and of the 'winds of March'...First Colony is hosting their first annual 'Kites & Flights' this Saturday!  Looks like loads of fun, you can bring your own kite - or make one there.  New owners are breathing some new life into the winery - we are looking forward to seeing their vision come be.  I actually had the pleasure of a terrific wine tasting there last week - Mateo was so accomodating to our out of state visitors!  Best wine we tasted all day too!

We are booked this weekend - but if you are planning to take a break this spring - we have rooms available (several refreshed and repainted for spring!) through March and April...and believe it or not, ONE room open for UVA graduation...so spread the word.  Lodging is pretty tight mid-May - so if you are coming, better act fast.   :)
