So this weekend, my parents came down to UVA to visit. It was a quick one, but we had a full day, with brunch at the Horse and Hound, a good time at King Family Vineyards (though they wouldn't let me taste with my parents because I didn't bring my ID!), a trip to drop Dad off at RIchmond Airport, ever important for college kids grocery shopping, and a yummy dinner with Mom at Mellow Mushroom!
My favorite part of the day, besides my visitors themselves, was probably the Vineyard. It was a gorgeous day, and despite being denied yummy wine, it was still a lot of fun. My parents continued their craze with Viognier while my mom snuck me sips behind the bar. The land itself was gorgeous, with mountains not too far away, lots of grapes, and a huge field with polo being played! Unfortunately we didn't get to watch much of the polo because it ended right as the tasting finished, but it really makes me want to go this coming weekend to see it!
Natalie had told me this, and I was a bit skeptical, but did you know that when it is too hot for horses, polo can be played on Segways? This seemed a little odd to me, until I saw Segways roaming on the polo field after the match, and a polo enthusiast confirmed it.
