Sunday Getaway

For the past couple weeks Chris's grandmother has been talking about a place in VA that she read about in a magazine that serves a beautiful brunch on Sundays and she asked if we'd like to join her. Seeing that we never rarely turn down free food, we happily obliged.
We woke up this morning, put on our Sunday best (on an actual Sunday, fancy that) and hit the road. Up until our arrival at the resort I had no clue where we were headed, so for the duration of our 1.5 hour drive I was expecting brunch at Shoney's. So color me surprised when we made our way through the beautiful nauseating winding mountain roads and arrived at this beautiful lodge instead of a pancake joint.


Primland is located in Meadows of Dan, VA, it is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and is the perfect getaway (or would be if you could afford more than brunch)

Brunch itself was DELICIOUS! It was an all you can eat buffet, but let me tell you, it was a billion few notches up from the Golden Corral (sorry Chris). Shrimp and grits station, omelettes, prime rib, biscuits with gravy, and much much more (trust, I ate it all).

After brunch we toured the lodge, it is LEED certified and gorgeous! They offer tons of activities (like hunting, ATV tours, and star gazing), spa treatments, and golf (if you're willing/able to fork out $200 a round)

Chris and I would love to go back and spend a weekend, but it might take a while to save up enough moola, because I'm going to keep it real and tell you, they charge big bucks, I'm talking $125 just to climb a tree (for real they offer that). 
It was a great little Sunday and I highly recommend a visit!
