Great Weekend at Great Falls.

Fall in Virginia is one of my new favorite things. I could live outside, the weather is always so lovely. So of course, I have to drag my husband out of the house every chance I get.

Great Falls is by far one of my favorite places in Virginia. We went for the first time shortly after we moved out here and I definitely wasn't going to let the fall pass without visiting again. We went on a perfect Sunday afternoon- the leaves were at their peak and just about to fall. The temperature was absolutely perfect. We actually had a nice, relaxing weekend to enjoy. Unfortunately, everyone else in the area had the same idea. As we pulled onto the road leading to the park, there were cars backed up for almost a mile. When we finally got into the park, we were a little disappointed because there were so many people swarming. We're definitely more small-crowd people.

As soon as we broke free from the main area, however, we had the most perfect afternoon.

We climbed up and down the crazy rock formations, I took a million pictures, and Keagan explored the nooks and crannies to find me some shiny shells. It was the perfect mixture of relaxing and adventurous.

We savored every last breath of perfect fall air before the sunset, and then headed to a cute little restaurant in Old Town Alexandria- Bilbo Baggins. It was the perfect weekend before the busy storm- finding a place to live (we did it!), finding a car to buy (we did it!), and finishing out the last couple weeks of TBS (almost there!).
