The weather was perfect, if a little on the warm side. The horses were beautiful. The farms were green and welcoming. The people were friendly. The food was out of this world. What else could you ask for from a weekend in Virginia's Hunt Country?
Middleburg's annual Stable Tour never disappoints, and this year was no exception. It's hard to leave the shaded hospitality of the old plantation, with its charming array of guests and delightful hosts, to trek out into a steamy Virginia day, but we three did it: We left after breakfast, tired ourselves out following the tour trail, ate more often than we needed to, and ended up back at Welbourne in time to join the other guests on the front porch for the cocktail hour -- which began at 6:30 and ended somewhere around midnight.
Two perfect days. It was worth the drive through a nasty rainstorm coming home.
