Darden Reunion and Foxfield!

This year was Todd’s 10 year Darden reunion….which also happened to be Foxfield weekend, which is where/why/how Todd and I met 11 years ago!  This also happened to be the weekend after grandma and papa moved so close to us!  So I typed up the weekend itinerary and left her lots of wine and away we went!

Sadly I don’t have any pictures from Friday’s festivities.  We got in so early on Friday that we were able to have lunch with friends, buy some UVA swag and buy a case of wine and a cooler and have our own little cocktails in the garden on the Darden grounds while greeting everyone as they arrived!  That night was also class dinners.  And then Saturday was Foxfield!!!

Foxfield 2002 vs 2013!

Sunday we got to have brunch with our very dear friends before heading back home.  It was an absolutely perfect weekend, so very blessed for our good friends and for grandma and papa’s help so we could have such a lovely weekend away!
