Virginia's for Lovers! - Knoxville Photographer

Last weekend my husband and I spent a late Valentine's Day in Abingdon, VA! In just 2 hours, we arrived at the White Birches Inn, a bed & breakfast that has been featured in Southern Living Magazine.  We stayed in the luxurious Porterfield Suite, which featured a king size bed, a fireplace, a sitting area with bay window, and a jacuzzi and shower in the bathroom. The innkeeper also left a martini glass filled with hershey kisses and a plate of cookies in our room! In addition, the inn also offers complimentary wine to all its guests.  After unloading our luggage, Nathan and I hit the streets and meandered around the brick sidewalks of historic Abingdon.  One of the city's most famous landmarks is the Martha Washington Inn.  It's huge! Of course, I used this as a photo opportunity! I would love to do bridal portraits in this place or even a wedding! It's so nostalgic!  After touring the city, Nathan and I stopped at The Tavern, a german style restaurant, for a relaxing dinner.  The food, service, and atmosphere was exceptionally good.  The next morning we woke up to a wonderful surprise outside . . . SNOW! The view from our window was breathtaking! As we were served a beautiful breakfast of baked french toast with orange glaze sauce, sausage, juice, and coffee, we watched the snow fall outside the dining room window.  And to top off the trip, the innkeeper 
brought out her poodle Harry for me to play with!!! I love doggies!
