Matt and I went away for his 30th birthday last week. We stayed in Charlottesville, which is the home of Thomas Jefferson, the University of Virginia, and the Monticello Wine Trail. It was beautiful country compared to Hampton Roads-- I loved the Blue Ridge Mountains. Thomas Jefferson knew what he was doing when he built his home there (you can see Monticello everyday on the nickel). The wine tasting was great- we visited about 15 wineries and loved Barboursville Vineyards (for the scenery) and Wintergreen (for the wine). Did you know Virginia is 5th in wine production? We also picked our own blackberries (which Nicholas ate once we got them home). If you would like to see this place for yourself, come and visit-- We are only 2 1/2 hours away!!
We are staying put for the next couple of weeks before we go and visit Grandma Maresca in her new condo. She is living the good life in Miramar, Florida. We will also get to see Aunt Annie, Uncle Rob, and our godson, Christopher Michael and his parents. It will be a great trip. Until then, we hope you have a wonderful and safe rest of the summer!
Love,
The Fine Family

You know what this blog needs?? A little birthday ticker for Mr. Nick. I suppose you could always check Brayden's and add a year...
