Little Washington

It is the name of a small town in Virginia and as a matter of fact the very first town to be called Washington in all of the US {there are 28 Washington's in total}. The town in all is 5 blocks long and 2 blocks wide just like it was when George Washington laid it out back in 1749.


Over the holidays when I visited my sister, the whole family went to take a look at the town and it's most famous resident, The Inn at Little Washington. The little hotel is adorable and has a very comfortable atmosphere inside.


The hotel counts with a restaurant that has received one of the highest honors in the travel industry, the AAA's 5 diamond award as well as several James Beard Awards {like the Oscars for food}. 


The area surrounding the hotel is full of vineyards and farms that make it a great place to get out of the craziness of the city and enjoy the beautiful scenery, and it's only an hour and a half from DC.


Have a great day!!!

    How incredibly fun! I never knew it existed and I've been to Virginia so many times! Brandi needs to go there ASAP I think.

    I am fascinated with the East Coast and the beautiful homes there. I hope to visit someday. My home is just a mish mash of whatever strikes my fancy and somehow it all seems to work.
