A little escape from Washington to the Virginia countryside.
We were in Middleburg for a real estate team gathering and ended the day with dinner at Goodstone Inn. As someone who loves a good garden, I could have happily wandered around here for another hour.
Flowers spilling out of the beds, old trees, clipped hedges, fountains, stone walls and the pool tucked into the landscape — there was something beautiful around every corner.
Gardens have a way of making you slow down, look a little closer and appreciate where you are.
Sometimes you don’t have to go very far from Washington to feel a world away.
