I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁

What to Do With 48 Hours in Staunton, VA


A Weekend Travel Guide to Staunton, VA

What do you do with 48 hours in the mountains of Virginia? Here’s my guide to Staunton – everything from eating and drinking, to doing, and even where to stay!

My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our trip up to the small town of Staunton, VA. This truly adorable town is located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley – with stunning views of the mountainscape stretching in every direction. What we enjoyed most was that small-town feel, where everyone knew everyone and we were all treated like family. There were smiling faces every direction we turned, and so many fun places to check out during our 48-hour stay.

We arrived around noon on Sunday, and were thrilled to find out that a lot of the restaurants and cafés were just opening their doors for the day. It was perfect weather, just over 60° and sunny, so we expected there to be crowds. We quickly realized this wouldn’t be the case. While there were certainly plenty of families out and about, it didn’t have that “big city” hustle and bustle feeling, and we were instantly fans.

From our first experience at a local bakery, to the hotel we stayed at, and the eatery we dined in before leaving, we thoroughly loved our experience in Staunton.

What to Do in Staunton, VA

Food

Réunion Bakery & Espresso //

The very first place we stopped in Staunton, and by far the most memorable. We’re still talking about their divine croissants. Hands down the yummiest baked goods I think we’ve ever had. And their coffee was delicious as well. This will forever be top of our list when we go back to visit.

Cranberry’s Grocery and Eatery //

This was the spot we chose to check out very last before hitting the road back to RVA. I’m so glad we did. I got a delicious Cubano sandwich and an iced latte. Brandon got their hashbrown casserole. We both loved every bit of it, and thought it was so cute that it was basically a small restaurant located in a grocery store!

By and By Café // (honorable mention)

We passed by this adorable little spot twice on our first day there, and twice on our second – and every time, I made mention that I wanted to go inside – but we never got a chance. Next time!

Byers Street Bistro //

This is where we went for dinner on our first evening in Staunton. I’m so glad we made this decision (really, it was Brandon’s idea). We had chicken wings as an appetizer, B got a sandwich for his entree, and I got a burger with a side of maple brussel sprouts. Ya’ll – I don’t even like brussel sprouts, but if I could eat them like that every day, I would. Our entire meal was beyond delicious, and the service was excellent!

Zynodoa // (honorable mention)

This was a restaurant suggested to us by my contact at The Blackburn Inn. Apparently they have delicious food, but the hubs and I were craving something slightly more casual.

The Yelping Dog // (honorable mention)

We kept hearing about The Yelping Dog’s gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches (YUM)! There’s only so many places we can eat in 48 hours, ya know!

Shopping & Sights

Latitudes Fair Trade Store //

I loved this not-so-little store. It was actually pretty huge, filled with tons of handmade, fair-trade goods. From bookends to soap to earrings and hats. They had pretty much anything you can think of. It was an excellent place to find gifts.

Made: By The People, For The People //

Another store filled with great gift ideas! This one was slightly smaller, but had a truer “Virginia” feel – complete with multiple peanut options right in the front of the store!

Staunton Antiques Center //

This antique shop is three stories high! Filled floor-to-ceiling with all sorts of vintage goods. We didn’t venture to the second floor, but there was so much to see on the first floor alone!

Camera Heritage Museum // (honorable mention)

The camera museum offers a tour, but unfortunately they are closed on Sundays. Maybe next time!

Relax

The Blackburn Inn //

If you’ve gotten a chance to read my blog post about The Blackburn Inn, you’ll know it was spectacular. I don’t want to go into extreme detail here, so make sure you check out that article, and know that it’s the perfect spot to come back to after a long day of wandering and exploring.

As much as I’m totally a wolf-girl, the Cullens will always be my first pick! 🧛🏻‍♀️ After reading Midnight Sun, I had an even greater appreciation for every member of that family (except Rosalie. Still hate Rosalie 😂)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few months ago, I got a Twilight Woods candle from @janzywaxco and I realized I wasn’t burning it because it was my favorite scent and I wanted it to last forever 🙈 Then she began offering this amazing JUMBO SIZE and I instantly snatched it up so my house would smell like sexy vampires forever 🕯

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These books are well-loved, so I was thrilled when I saw the gorgeous dust jackets @thebookishshop released for them 😍 Dust jackets are such a fun way to deck out some of my favorite books ✨ Use the code ESPRESSO5 to purchase your own set of dust jackets or even get a discounted subscription to @thebookishbox 🙌🏼

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had an almost identical shot that I shared on my feed when I launched in January and I never knew it would go viral on Pinterest or that this page would be the best thing to happen to me all year 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, I could get super mushy right now, but I really wanna say THANK YOU to all of you for making 2020 a better place 😘 There’s been a lot of tragedy and stress this year, but this little corner of the internet has been such a bright spot! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve wrapped up my TOP TEN BOOKS in a guide and posted my “one second a day” video to IGTV 😱 Who am I with all of this content in one day?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have a happy new year, everyone! 🤍

I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is my first Christmas on booksta and when I saw that @emilyintheweb tagged me in the #HolidayTag, I couldn't resist! ❤️(I know this is cutting it close since Xmas is TODAY buuuut if you wanna use the questions, feel free! 🙈)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎄 Earliest Christmas/holiday memory: I remember going to our close friends' home for carols around the piano on Christmas Eve (we did that every year for most of my life) 🎹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Favorite holiday-themed book: I read Finding Christmas this year and that HAS to take the cake. It was beyond adorable ☃️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎬 Favorite holiday movie: 12 Dates of Christmas is my forever favorites, but I love SO MANY that I gotta admit it's hard to choose 🤭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎶 Favorite holiday song: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Glee Cast (specifically that version) but this is kinda like the movie question because I love so many 😹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎁 Favorite gift as a child: This is a toss-up between my piano and my American Girl doll - they were both insanely special to me 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Favorite quote from a holiday film: LITERALLY ALL OF While You Were Sleeping because it's all so quotable! But I guess specifically the entire dinner scene (if you know, you know 🥔)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎀 What's at the top of your wishlist: Books, books, and more books! Specifically, I'm hoping for The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and Echo North (update: I GOT THEM!) 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ Favorite way to spend Christmas Day: A slow morning with my mom's cranberry-orange scones and spiced mocha. Opening gifts with family and just savoring every special moment! 🥰
