{Travel} Virginia/Maryland Getaway, Concert & Gun Powder Falls State Park

In my last post, you saw our quiet Memorial Day weekend which was ok because the following week we had fun little getaway planned.
 Mr. Click's work band had a gig in Virginia. Our first stop was band practice and I took a long walk around this pretty shopping area while they rehearsed.
We stayed at a TRU by Hilton and it was my first time staying in one. I loved the bright lobby.
Look at these fun chairs!
Our room was cute too. 
I thought it was all so well designed.
I appreciated the extra  shelf in the bathroom. There are never enough surfaces in a hotel bathroom if you ask me.

We went for coffee at one of our favorite places.

We had dinner that night at Ted's Bulletin.  I loved it!

We sat around this fire pit for awhile after dinner.

In the morning we found a new place to walk.
It was Elizabeth Mills State Park.
The views were stunning.  We traveled to Manassas later in the day (and stopped for some outlet shopping).
That night was the gig and this was my 'fit' (new shirt from LOFT outlet).
It was the perfect day for an outdoor show.
Work band was on fire!
It was a corporate event with lots of food and drink options. I tried the frosé.
We stayed for the headliner, Coffey Anderson.  I didn't know of him but became a fan by the end of the night.
He was such a nice guy too. 
I've started watching his Netflix show now.
The next morning we had breakfast in the hotel (a different TRU by Hilton). I was mesmerized by the pancake maker.  You can watch it here on my Reels  https://www.instagram.com/heather_ourlife/
We headed out for some more hiking and stopped at Gunpowder State Park in Maryland.
It wasn't great for hiking but it had a nice beach.  
This sign explains the name Gunpowder River and the legend that surrounds it.
We walked around for awhile and then found a place for lunch on the water.
We were about halfway home and Bowley's was a good place to stop.

hI Heather,
thanks for the sweet comment about the basket wreath! I had mine in the bathroom and now love it next to front door.
Must check out the Andrew Coffey Netflix. We just finished the auto doc on Arnold Schwarzenegger.
That dessert looks amazing! Sharing on the Weekend Edit! xo laura
