The Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) is a quick worthwhile visit…read more A big appeal of MoCA is that there's abundant off-street parking and the museum is free. While there is an upstairs and downstairs, the exhibits are rather small and it will take you less than a half hour to go through the entire museum. While there were a couple people at the information window, I was the only visitor during my brief time here. I did find all the art at MoCA interesting.

I was disappointed to find out that the Octagon Museum is not open to the public. This was…read morementioned nowhere on their website. You can schedule a tour for a group in advance, but unscheduled visitors are not allowed in. In fact, the building is locked. They have a gift shop in the building behind it, which is open to the public during business hours. I find this a little annoying since the museum itself isn't open to the public, but I'm giving the Octagon Museum two stars instead of one, because the gift shop was actually pretty good.

This was a great stop yesterday while we were in town! So glad we made it apart of our schedule…read more The kitchen, wine cellar & office upstairs were the highlights of the self guided tour. The writing desk was my favorite piece! They do have a restroom & water fountain (fill up your water bottle while you're there)

My co-worker and I were looking for a fun place to go and stumbled on this gem. If I'm staying in…read morethis part again I'll definitely be back. The local artist have art displayed in a tasteful way throughout the restaurant. There are big picture windows that provide natural light. We got food off of the restaurant week price fixed menu. The mini charcuterie boards, fried polenta, tuna tartare, and flank steak all worth getting again. If you want a tasty drink but have to drive try the hungry hippo. Super refreshing and doesn't have booze. If you want a boozy drink try I know the owner. I'm not a huge vodka person and I thought it was very good.

From the moment Carlos picked us up in his amazing vehicle, until he dropped us off later on in the day, we made the most fabulous memories together! His attention to detail was amazing. He opened and closed our doors. He escorted us into each winery. He communicated with the winery staff to make certain we were situated. He took pictures of the day, which he shared with us later. He provided a lovely charcuterie snack for us. He was a wealth of knowledge about wines and wine making and the history of the area and the beautiful vistas. As you can see, I could go on and on!! I have already recommended Carlos and Hipstoricdc to others!! Thank you Carlos for such an amazing experience!

I actually enjoyed the selections they chose to display for their guest. I am a art lover, so this gallery definitely satisfied that art itch. Would I recommend a trip here, definitely!
