This past weekend Peter and I went to one of our favorite places ever, Staunton, Va. You wouldn’t think there’s too much to a small town like Staunton and you’d be right. Staunton truly is a nook in the valley, and we love every bit of it.
We first visited Staunton last year when a colleague of mine sent us a promotional coupon to stay at the Stonewall Jackson. If your looking for high tech amenities and late night appletinis you might want to head to DC, but if you appreciate historic buildings, authenticity, and charm you will absolutely love Staunton and The Stonewall. The rooms are very small but the beds are SUPER comfy and more than make up for it. Also, the staff are fantastic and the architectural detail is just beautiful. The Stonewall is located in Downtown Staunton, just a few short blocks away from our other most favorite place – Mockingbird.
We went to Staunton this past weekend specifically to see a show at Mockingbird. Mockingbird is a relatively new restaurant and live music venue and it really is worth checking out. We headed out to catch a Nashville band called Last Train Home and it was incredible. The band was awesome, the acoustics were perfect and the atmosphere was totally intimate. We couldn’t have asked for a better night.
Thank you Staunton. Thank you Stonewall Jackson. Thank you Last Train Home. We had a great time.
