My friends, I am taking off for a wonderful weekend in Virginia! Specifically, I’m headed to the 82nd Annual Apple Blossom Festival!
Apple Blossom Festival is quickly becoming a tradition among my college girlfriends. It’s served as our "college reunion" for the last three years.
It all started in 2007…
That year set the stage for a silly weekend filled with lots of beer…
And parade watching…
And crashing random dudes’ house parties and making friends with their cute doggies…
The 2008 Apple Blossom Festival was JUST as fun!
There was the obligatory beer-drinking….
And carnival crashing….
And turkey frying…
And karaoke dueling (I won)…
Oh, and funnel cake-eating (for breakfast – seriously)…
Basically, Apple Blossom RULES!
I hope you understand that I will not be blogging again until Sunday night. However, the awesome recap will certainly be worth the wait! My game plan is to relax, enjoy myself, and pretend like I’m in college again. Oh, and I’ll try not to consume 1,000,000 calories in two days, but it’s highly likely that I will! 
Baw-haha!
HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE WEEKEND!

sounds fun! I love funnel cake
and soft pretzels and corndogs and french fries, and really any carnival type food…
Have a wonderful weekend with your friends! Last year I went back to visit my college campus for a mini-reunion and it was so much fun to relive those days! Plenty of beer and dance parties at night, relaxation and good conversation during the day
Shut up! Do you go to Winchester? That is like 10 minutes away from where I grew up. I used to get my picture taken with Santa at the Apple Blossom Mall!
Have so much fun!
have funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
aww you are your friends are so beautiful. It looks like SO much fun! Have a blast hun, cant wait to read the recap!
yay for VA! I am currently living in Richmond, but moving back to Northern VA next week! I’ve never been to the apple blossom festival, probably because its around the same time as final exams! I will have to keep this in mind next year when I’m living back in Northern Virginia!
The festival looks like a blast! Have an awesome weekend!
Ah that looks like so much fun!! Have a blast
Have a super fantastic time with your ladies! Does hubby stay home?
Have fun!!!
I hope you have a fabulous time at the Apple Blossom Festival! It sounds like so much fun :] I can’t wait for your recap !!
Hope you have a really great time! Better to be off enjoying yourself than sitting at a computer!
What a fun weekend! Have a great time!
Ohhh that looks like so much fun! Hope you have a blast, you deserve it!
Have fun!!
Looks like a blast!!
I LOVE the picture with the dog! Too cute!
lol Love the evil laugh!
Have a fun time!
this post exemplifies why i love your blog. you are not afraid to go out once in awhile and have a good time, eat some junk, and party!
other bloggers can be so uptight and it’s boring.. your blog is never boring!
What? No drogging? Boo on that. Have fun.
Awesome!! Have a great weekend.
I agree with Meg C. This is so refreshing to see. Sometimes I feel like no one likes to have fun around here, although I’m sure that’s not true. It’s just important that we realize healthy eating and fitness are positive things but there’s nothing wrong with having a good party now and then.
I’m going on a big May Long Weekend camping trip in a couple weeks and I have the exact same attitude – a couple of days where I could care less about calories and can drink my face off.
I am planning to sneak in a 16k run though
. But that’s because I love running in the mountains.
Enjoy yourself!
How fun! Enjoy your weekend away! Can’t wait to hear the recap
Have fun! Funnel Cake is the best! Can’t wait for the recap.
I love that the apple blossom parties are sponsored by beer companies, no wonder it makes for a good college reunion!
I love your blog. It's very motivating/inspiration. :]
I just wanted to comment that I WAS THERE YESTERDAY. And I was so excited since I remembered reading your blog post about it as I walked through downtown Winchesterrrr. >:D
Can you make the green monster with soy milk instead of almond breeze? Have you ever tried it this way?
ummy – hahaha i wish we had run into each other!
melissa – yes def i think that would work!
can’t wait to hear all about it – looks like so much fun!
Sounds fun, hope you have a great time
