Nothing says autumn like stomping around the fresh fallen leaves on the grounds of UVA!! I made my return to Charlottesville this past weekend, exactly 6 months after I got engaged at the beautiful Monticello. Homecoming provided the perfect excuse for a reunion with my college roommates. We linked up with Anna and Brigid (and their awesome men) as soon as we hit town, for the ultimate tailgating experience (I love you Bodos). After a quick trip to Alumni Hall, we followed the sea of blue and orange towards the football stadium. Unfortunately, before we even set foot into the stands, Carolina had us by 7 points.. and let's just say it went downhill from there. When our Hoos finally scored, we sang our song of wahoo-wah to the tune of desperation and relief. After the game, our party continued downtown at the South Street Brewery (our former Tuesday night tradition). The best nights always come from good company, laughter, remembering old memories and making a new. This was definitely one of those nights!
Sunday morning we went to Carter's Apple orchard to celebrate apple season! This venue always makes the cut whenever I'm in town. You get the best views of Charlottesville, and can get your fill of apple anything- pie, doughnuts, cider, you name it! We picked up a boat load of apples and several pumpkins for an upcoming dinner party. We returned to the downtown mall for a Sunday afternoon stroll and a satisfying lunch at the famous Christian's pizza. Everytime I visit Charlottesville, I am overcomed by nostalgia and a recollection of the incomperable college life. I miss you Virginia!!
