To-Do: Get out of Town

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the whole year, a day when we throw our to-do list to the wind (ok, my to-do list) and head out to the Blue Ridge mountains with friends to the Montpelier Wine Festival. We pack food, blankets and games, leave in the morning and come back at night. It's my official start to spring -- and I love it!

This year, the weather threw a wrench in our plans. There was an 80% chance of rain, so we added umbrellas, tarps and ponchos to bring along. But, aside from a few rain drops when we first arrived, it was a perfect day!

But we were only 50% lucky this weekend. The Cardinals/Nationals game, which we were supposed to attend this afternoon, got completely rained out. Fortunately, we were smart enough not to go to the field first -- the game was delayed for four hours before they finally postponed! That's ok, though...at least I had one day this weekend to cross things off my to-do list.
