Welcome To The Neighborhood

The past 48 hours have been absolutely awesome getting to know Charlottesville. I know that we will love it here 🙂

IMG_7461 (640x427)

IMG_7462 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7463 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7465 (427x640) (2)

IMG_7454 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7460 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7477 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7452 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7468 (640x427)

IMG_7471 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7472 (640x427) (2)

Another 17 miles of biking occurred today. Think I want to stay off that bike seat tomorrow!

(We forgot to turn the Garmin on for about 2 miles of biking!)

IMG_7442 (640x427)

While I showered, Matt prepared a nice evening spread for us to share on the inn’s porch. More wine, cheese, crackers + fruit. I just sipped off of Matt’s wine and had some cheeses and grapes. Cheese is delicious.

IMG_7447 (427x640)

IMG_7449 (640x427) (2)

Then we headed downtown!

IMG_7455 (427x640)

IMG_7457 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7451 (640x427) (2)

We stumbled upon the Friday night concert!!

IMG_7474 (640x427) (2)

Did you know the whole downtown has free wi-fi!?!?!?!?!? A blogger’s dream!!!

IMG_7475 (640x427) (2)

At 7:30 we sat down to a lighter dinner at Enoteca. We’ve always wanted to eat there, but the menu is lighter with tapas and paninis and we’ve never been in the mood for something light. But after the cheeses, we were, so it was a great fit.

IMG_7489 (640x427) (2)

We started with some wines – a half glass for me (that was a generous pour!) and a whole glass for him.

IMG_7480 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7483 (640x427) (2)

We each ordered a Bruschette. Tuna + White Bean for him and Fig, Ricotta and Honey for her!

IMG_7492 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7496 (640x427) (2)

IMG_7493 (640x427) (2) IMG_7494 (640x427) (2)

For dinner, we split a panini – Sopressata, Fontina and Radicchio.

IMG_7502 (640x427) (2)

Mmmm!

IMG_7498 (640x427) (2)

After dinner we set back out to meet some new friends! Abby + Patrick just moved here for a dietetic internship and radiology fellowship at UVA!

IMG_7504 (640x427) (2)

We met them at Abby’s new workplace

IMG_7505 (427x640)

They were kind enough to share their bottle of wine with us 🙂 I had a small pour and filled up on H20

IMG_7508 (640x427) (2)

Then we headed back to Enoteca for more entertainment:

IMG_7510 (640x427)

And to reunite with Dallas and his fiance Amy!

IMG_7511 (640x427)

And suddenly it’s past midnight! And I’m turning into a pumpkin!!!!!

[Yum. Pumpkin season is coming!]

    Wait…the entire downtown is free wi-fi !! That IS a dream! What a darling town and so busy. I just love that it’s not chilly there at night….I’m so envious. Definitely not like northern California 🙂

    Homesick for Charlottesville here. I grew near there and I must say its an amazing place to live! Pumpkin season and fall in general in Virginia is quite possibly one of most beautiful things about the state! Apple picking (apple butter making parties), hay rides, and corn maizes…all a must-do!

    Did you feel the earth move? No, literally…there was a 3.6 ‘quake’ centered in Rockville, Maryland, that was reported to be felt all the way from York, PA to Charlottesville, VA. It was small enough that things just shook and the authorities indicated no injuries and no significant damage had been reported.

    When I saw the picture of the live entertainment, I thought to myself I sure would like to see him riding his bicylce down the road with that big case he is sitting on and the banjo strapped to it. He must have great balance… maybe you will even see him in a yoga class?

    I bet you could ‘hire’ a college student to write ‘Great Harvest is Coming’ in some artsy way on that message board everyday until it opens for the promise of a weekly store credit for a period of time. They could just email you a photo with a free daily paper next to it so you know they do it everyday.

    Cville looks awesome, very jealous. Actually, I’m very jealous of everywhere you are, because you seem to have frozen yogurt places all over (not the tart kind either, which I prefer).

      It was the South Street Inn. It was great!! Not too expensive and the location was WONDERFUL. Right downtown. And the breakfasts were great too!! It wasn’t a fancy inn, but we had no complaints.
