getaway part two - Union Station

 The drive to Harrisonburg only took us about two and a half hours. It was a relaxing journey, with beautiful fall scenery to enjoy. We arrived in downtown Harrisonburg around noon and immediately began to seek sustenance. The Union Station Restaurant and Bar had caught my attention online when I was researching this trip, and when we stumbled upon it we just had to try it out. It is on the second floor of an old warehouse building, which they saved from being demolished when an old seed store went out of business. The decor is industrial chic, lots of iron work and dark wood. The bar is tucked into a corner, you hardly know it's there. As for the food, I very rarely eat soup in a restaurant, but when the waitress said the soup of the day was chorizo chili, I just had to give it a try. Paired with a griled cheese sandwich, it was an incredible lunch. Jonathan enjoyed his panini just as much. We left feeling full and satisfied. I would highly recommend giving it a shot if you are ever in downtown Harrisonburg.

 
   

It was a delightful way to start our trip.

Until next time,

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

the dogs of luna acres - always ready to go

Our little farm is quite over run with animals, although most of them not the working farm type. The three dogs take turns guarding the place and sleeping on the couch. They all have their flaws and strengths, but not one of them what most would consider "well trained". We love them all the same, we know it our own fault for not working harder for them. We are blessed with space for them to run relatively free on their own. The yard this time of year is littered with deer legs and bones, the occasional head or spinal cord. It's a good life for these dogs.  Trilli and Dakota ready to go Dakota eating the snow Bandit, the oldest pup, is still always ready for a walk, even if he doesn't make it all the way there the view this afternoon  It's funny, even with all the freedom, they are always ready to go for a walk.
