Staycation Day 1

 

I recently found myself with a week off and for various reasons decided to stay home.  It came to this decision as I had taken two other vacations this year that involved airfare and did not want to spend the money.  Additionally, none of my vacation friends had off at the same time.  However, my sister was on vacation that week too.  This is my sister that gets six weeks of vacation a year had off and she like to stay home when she is on vacation.

So, I decided to do a staycation with her as she lives in the same town.  We decided we would do our own thing; sleep late, read, catch up on housework each morning.  Each day around 1:00 PM we decided to do something in the area.

One day we took a drive in search of antique shops.  We ended up in Winchester, Virginia.  We saw “the big apple” where we had many photos of us three girls when we were young.  We had lunch at a great alfresco bistro, Brewbaker’s Restaurant.  It was a gorgeous blue sky day to stroll along Winchesters quaint walking mall.  There were a couple of antique shops on the walking mall as well as other stores to browse.

On the way home from Winchester we stopped in Linden, Virginia at the Apple House.  They are known for their apple doughnuts.  We discovered they have an ice cream stand around the side that has apple doughnut sundae!  Yummy!
