EEK! I never hit post last week! My apologies to my loyal followers, I was so excited about this one too because of all of the festivals and fun things to do last weekend.
Good news for you, if you're in the state of Virginia, many of these awesome festivals are still going to happen/are going on/or in the future. Yay you!

So, every now and then, I feel super romantic and the need to be with my special someone. But it always makes me think! Well, what's there to do. No offense, but I don't live in the most spontaneous, fun area. Needless to say, you become more creative with the dates you go on.
Road Trip! Food! Fun Get-A-Ways!
There's my list. I've done a lot of them, but not all! Tell me which ones, or what dates you've been on that are your absolute favorite.
Can't wait to hear from y'all.
