One of my favorite traditions when I visit family is to go to Miss Minerva's Tea Room in Culpepr, Virginia. It is quite delightful, with vintage dishes and hundreds of types of tea to choose from.
It is all very whimsical and old-fashioned, two of my favorite things.
Of course my favorite part is the little back room where each guest can pick a hat to wear!
We each ordered our own pot of tea, which were all delightfully mismatched. I drank a nice chai...
...and ate a scone with cream and strawberry jam...
...and some butternut squash soup...
...and a lovely assortment of tiny sandwiches, quiche, stuffed mushrooms, and lemon cake. Although it was all finger food, we were definitely stuffed by the end!!
Here Darby models a bright red hat!
Naturally before we left, we had to take a photo with Miss Minerva herself!
