We usually harvest the chardonnay grapes at Gray Ghost Vineyards in September. This year though we couldn’t do it when they needed us so we chose to do the cabernet sauvignon grapes which were ready to pick today. We’ve been doing this for years and always have a good time. We didn’t do it last year because of COVID. We were glad to be able to join this year and help bring in the grapes. The weather was nice too!
This evening we went to the Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience here in DC. Besides having amazing displays of his paintings, they had other really cool video experiences. The final display was a huge room with video being shown on all the walls telling the story of Van Gogh and his works of art. We really had an amazing time. I can’t recommend it enough! Below the pictures is a short video from the last room.
I am a terrible blogger. I let the whole month of July go by without a post. Well yesterday we started our vacation. We are in Charlottesville visiting wineries. We are staying at the cottages at Afton Mountain Vineyards. I woke up a bit early this morning and saw this sunrise. It’s almost like a picture I took almost a year ago. It was taken with iPhone 12 Pro Max. We’ll be here for a few more days. I’m sure we’ll buy lots of wine and have a great time.
Today we went to the Bishop’s Garden for lunch and to see what was blooming. There were lots of pretty things. I think this butterfly was the best.
We taste the Lady Gaga Oreos and the Strawberry Frosted Donut Oreos.
