House Projects:
Update 2013
To date we have:
* Replaced the roof on the back half of the house with standing seam metal. We were even able to restore our old cornice!
* Refreshed the Green Room entirely - stay tuned for it's new name to celebrate the changes...
* Gutted and rebuilt the bathroom in the Garden Room. It's now a tiled shower masterpiece of a space :)
Next up: landscaping!

Bacon Steak
That's right - we said bacon steak. Really we could stop there, but to elaborate:
Edwards still hand rubs, dry cures and slow smokes their products over smoldering hickory logs...pretty much the way great grandfather, S. Wallace Edwards, did more than 80 years ago.
Between "bacon steak" and the historic significance, we just couldn't resist...

Scenic Biplane Flyover
Fly with John Corradi of Blue Ridge Biplane Rides in his open-cockpit 3-place 1942 Waco ZPF-7 for a breath-taking view of the Blue Ridge Mountains as you've never seen them before. Cross the mountains into the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and follow the Shenandoah River as it winds through the Valley. Then back across the mountains, flying over some of the prettiest scenery in the region - you'll definitely want to bring your camera for this flight!

Sunset Kayaking Package
No experience necessary! Let American Canoe Association certified kayak instructor, Beth, teach you basic kayaking skills and lead you on a leisurely journey down the Rapidan River. As the sun sets, get a chance to view nesting eagles, great blue and green herons, otters, deer and other wildlife. This is also a unique way of viewing the flora and fauna of the region! The meandering river is mostly flat with mild rapids to test out your newfound kayaking skills.
