Over the 4th of July weekend we drove to Virginia to visit Breck and Iris. We left early Friday morning in order to maximize our time there! The sunrise that morning was beautiful! The “front” door to Breck and Iris’ basement apartment (yes, it kind of looks like a tornado bunker, but it’s a large two-bedroom apartment that is super cute inside).
