Adam and I had an amazing day walking around Charlottesville and seeing what the city had to offer.

I’m not sure where the next few years will take us, but we both decided that we could love living in Charlottesville!

We bunked at the Red Roof Inn last night, which was conveniently located on the edge of UVA.

This morning we were prepared to face hotel coffee since I was a smart cookie yesterday and nabbed a few shelf-stable creamers from the gas station.

Still not great, but doable.

For breakfast we headed to Brodos for bagels.  Adam and I split a toasted poppy seed with strawberry cream cheese.

So chewy!  Adam actually didn’t love it, but I told him that all great bagels pack chew.

Next on the agenda was Shenandoah Joes for iced coffee with skim milk.

Good coffee, good bagels, good breakfast.

Adam and I spent the day walking around and exploring downtown.  We actually walked 1.5 miles in the wrong direction when we first left the hotel so we did some extra exploring!

The high point of the day was definitely our stop at Sweet Frog.

Adam and I both decided that we are never living in a city without froyo again!

We ended our visit with two car-worthy destinations: Great Harvest and Whole Foods. Adam and I left GH with a fantastic loaf of bread (Adam’s already eaten 3 slices!) and a sample bag of granola that Kath kindly shared.

Holy clusters batman!  Best granola ever, I got a bite of honey/saltiness that knocked my socks off.

Whole Foods didn’t actually have any of the products I had quested for, but they did have hot bar for lunch,

and tables outside for us to picnic at.

I ended up with a southern style feast – pulled chicken, collard greens, green beans, and bbq beans.

Plus watermelon that Adam and I split for dessert.

Yep, we’re ready to move to Charlottesville 😉

After a quick drive into DC now I’m blogging from a Starbucks while we wait for my best friend to get off of work.  The vacation continues!
