Hi Friends!
How are you? Happy Summer. Happy Quarantine. Apologies in advance for the lack of events worth noting over the last several months being stuck inside. I am happy to report I finally made it out of DC for a quick drive up to Pennsylvania visit my girlfriend for the weekend to celebrate her recent engagement!
Since I am desperate for any sort of celebration these days, I took it upon myself to stage a mini bachelorette weekend which consisted of winery hopping with our “she said yaaas” cups and visiting the most beautiful botanical garden you will ever see.
If you haven’t heard of Longwood Gardens, please take it upon yourself to check it out because it truly is one of the most stunning places I have ever been. My friend has an annual membership so she can literally visit everyday if she wanted, and I find myself lucky enough to be her +1.
This garden is widely popular and it’s a near miracle we were able to capture so many pictures without people in the background as they are limiting capacity to timed slots due to the pandemic. In all honestly, these may be some of my favorite photos to date. Longwood was closed for about two months due to COVID therefore they now have pretty strict social distancing guidelines put in place in order for everyone to stay safe while admiring the indoor and outdoor gardens.
After Longwood, we visited both Galer Estate along with the adorable WAYVINE Vineyard and Winery while attempting our best to stay cool in the 90+ degree heat but failed miserably. We finished off our evening back at Longwood for the fountain show which is definitely a must see.
Even though everyone’s summer plans are being cancelled left and right, I was happy to get away for a last minute weekend outside the walls of the city to enjoy the outdoors, good friends and good wine.
