For our second date (and many after) we went driving up Skyline, just drove until we wanted to turn around. There's a visitors center and stunning lookouts not too far in, but explore as far as you want!

The restaurant we went to on our first date. Where I first learned of Michael's obsession to find the perfect club sandwich and where he first learned how forgetful I am when I left my card at the restuarant.

Wondered about the theatre in Our Story? Check out whatever shows they have going on October 17th-19th 2025 and have some non-wedding fun!

Winchester is where I went to grad school and the Old Town area is where I lived during my two years there. It's a beautiful walking mall with lots of shops and restaurants including a couple of the other places listed here!

One of the towns Michael grew up in and a place he's shown Colleen over the years. It's a fun place to just walk around and explore.

Also on the walking mall in Winchester where Colleen lived during grad school. This quickly became our favorite place to eat in Winchester. You may know about our obsession with finding the best restaurant ranch... well... this one's in the Top 5.

While these aren't hikes that we've been on, they are all in the Shenandoah Valley where Michael's called home for the past 25 years.
