1804 Inn and Barboursville Vineyard

My best friend and I recently spent the night at the 1804 Inn at Barboursville Vineyards. Located about 20 minutes north of Charlottesville, the inn and its surroundings are steeped in history – and beauty. Needless to say, it was VERY difficult to leave.
Magic

I am often amazed and the wonder and magic that my daughter seems to find everywhere. I find her on the stairs discussing a play with her puppets, singing softly to herself while in the shower, in her room on the floor surrounded by books and notes, or in the family room with a host of stuffed animals all facing her in her classroom.
Through her I know in my heart that magic does exist. She brings magic to my life every day. She is a gift to me and to the world, and for that I am thankful every day.

I bought an easel for my daughter at a yard sale this weekend for 3$. One side is a chalkboard, and the other has a giant clip on the top for artwork.
Each day when I come home, I arrive to find that the easel has been strategically placed at the front door with a note for me.
Monday’s note:
Dear Mom,
I am going to Neptune to investigate the dark spot, then I am going mars and will stop by the moon on the way home.
be back at 1:30.
ps. Don’t forget to water our garden
Tuesday’s note:
Dear Mom,
I am going to Italy to see beautiful art and the colliseum, then I am going to Egypt to see the pyramids, and then I will stop by China to see the great wall.
be back at 3:30
