08 Jul Snapshot of the Week: My 4th of July Weekend
This 4th of July, I was lucky enough to have a 4 day weekend. That meant there was plenty of time for local travel adventuring! Here are a few photo highlights from my holiday…
THURSDAY, JULY 4
The view from Old Rag – an 8 mile hike in Shenandoah National Park that’s named Virginia’s “most popular and dangerous hike.”
A stone staircase with a boulder makes for the perfect photo-op.
Rock hoppers up on the rock scramble.
Killer views of the 4th of July fireworks in Washington. (That white blob in the middle is the US Capital Building!)
FRIDAY, JULY 5
Wine tasting at Pearmund Cellars (voted the #1 winery in Virginia this year by Virginia Wine Lover Magazine) was a great way to spend the day.
SATURDAY, JULY 6
Inappropriate card games with my cousins
A fun craft beer list at Alewife in downtown Baltimore. (I opted for a tart cherry cider!)
Drinks out on the town at the Food Market in Hampden, Baltimore
SUNDAY, JULY 7
A little shopping at Trohv in Hampden. Love walking and exploring the unique shops along the Avenue.
Ended the weekend on a domestic note- picking basil from my garden and making pesto, based on a recipe I picked up while studying abroad in Italy!
