Our Weekend Away

At The Old 4th Street Filling Station

Ed and I celebrated our 8th anniversary by going away last weekend! It was absolutely wonderful!! It had been almost 5 years since the last time we went away just to get away and reconnect...it was LONG overdue! He planned everything out and made sure it would be a very relaxing time together!

Friday night we ate at the 4th Street Filling Station in Winston. We had our rehearsal dinner there 8 years ago :)

Saturday morning we drove to the Elkin Creek Vineyard in Elkin, NC. It was PERFECT weather, a cool breeze and an abundant amount of warm sunshine! The vineyard is an organic winery, they hand pick every bunch of grapes, and it tastes amazing! The owners are very friendly. The grounds are small, but beautiful! Everything is so laid-back and relaxing...it was exactly what we needed!

After we shared a bottle of their Soft White while sitting by the Big Elkin Creek, we drove to our private cabin. The Frog Holler Cabins are the perfect size. They have a full kitchen and, an added bonus, a hot tub on the back porch! It was so quiet and secluded....very romantic!


Saturday night we ate dinner in downtown Elkin at Twenty-One and Main....yummy, yummy, yummy! But the best food we had was Sunday for lunch. We went back to the vineyard and had their famous homemade, wood-fired pizza! The owner, Mark, is 100% Italian and his food tastes like it! He only makes 20 pizzas on Sunday so we had to get there early...but it was worth it!


I love Ed and I love that he took the time to plan this out :) I am so blessed to have him as my best friend and husband!
