The Greenbrier

We had a much needed getaway last weekend.  I was rewarded at work with a trip to The Greenbrier.  I've never been to West Virginia before + it was beautiful; I wish we had gotten to see more.  We only had one full day there + so we stayed at the resort the whole time.  There was so  much to see + do.  I could have taken pictures all day long (which I pretty much did).

  • We celebrated Zac's 29th birthday (I almost forgot that morning with the rush to the airport).

  • Flew to Atlanta, then Roanoke + then took the shortest flight (10 minutes) to Lewisburg (tinest airport we've ever seen).  Which Delta left out that we even had to do that, haha.  Thanks.

  • Checked in + had lunch at Draper's.  We felt like we were in a dollhouse.

  • Amazed by the beautiful Dorothy Draper decor.

  • Went on a walk.

  • Dinner with my company on Kate's mountain + listened to a comedian.

  • Ate a Greenbrier peach.

  • Zac played golf while I had the best spa experience of my life.

  • Peppermint tea with a slice of orange= heaven.

  • Walked the springhouse row.

  • Had lunch by the pool at Treetops. 

  • Drank the yummiest frozen coconut mojito. (I can cross off "try 3 new drinks" on the summer manifesto list *only 1eft)

  • Relaxed by the pool until a storm came in.

  • Enjoyed listening to the rain + thunder.

  • Had afternoon tea.

  • Went on a bunker tour + felt like I was in school again.

  • Put on our fancy clothes for a fancy dinner at The Main Dining Room.

  • Felt like we went back in time.

  • Woke up way to early to sit at the airport for hours because of fog.

  • Flew first class back home.

  1. Hey Linds -
    Love the pictures, but really like your descriptions of simple things that you'll remember forever.
    Thanks Zac for sending them along.

  2. Ok, well that was probably a goofy post ... make that from "Dan", not Dad. Chuck may take offense at the fact that I adopted his daughter!
