LAURITA: Now you get to see why, it's just like I remember it.

It's always very majestic in here.

LAUREN: It's so pretty!

LAURITA: I know.

HOTEL STAFF: Welcome to the Salamander, Middleburg.

BOTH: Thank you.

HOTEL STAFF: We're excited to have you here.

We have your keys right here for your suite, and you'll be right down the hall.

BOTH: Thank you.

HOTEL STAFF: My pleasure.

DOUG: Salamander Middleburg is one of the most unique equestrian resorts on the entire East Coast, because of the intimacy and the subdued luxury.

We offer a world away from the city life and we created this essence of a residence.

So you arrive into not a lobby but a living room.

To the left, the spa, concierge, fitness facility.

But then to the right we have Harrimans.

It's our restaurant, our fine dining room.

The property is 340 acres, 140 of those are preserves off to the left, but we do have incredible riding trails and walking trails.

Salamander Middleburg offers 168 guest rooms.

17 of those are suites, so Lauren and Laurita are in our most spacious suite, the Grand Prix.

LAUREN: Wow, this is a nice big room.

Wow.

Oh, and I love the pictures on the wall.

You know, we've seen so many horse pictures, so I love that we're seeing these purple flowers, since that's one of my favorite colors.

LAURITA: I do know that, but you know, these were all taken by Sheila Johnson.

LAUREN: Ohh, I've been seeing some of her pictures around the hotel.

LAURITA: Yes.

But I tell you, the nod to the horses still here because those are the winning ribbons.

LAUREN: Tying it all in together.

LAURITA: You gotta do it, you gotta do it.

LAUREN: Wow, mom, we have our own private little balcony!

LAURITA: I love it.

LAUREN: All right, let's go check out the room.

LAURITA: Okay, woo.

Look at that chaise lounger 'cause you know that's my thing, right?

It's my jam.

LAUREN: Now you can sit and have a book.

Tomorrow morning.

LAURITA: I will do that.

How about checking out that bathroom?

Oh, what a grand entrance.

LAUREN: Yeah, big old bathroom.

Ooh.

LAURITA: Two sinks, you know we like that.

LAUREN: I know.

You know how I feel about a good shower-tub combo.

LAURITA: Because I'll take the tub and you'll take... LAUREN: I will gladly take that shower.

LAURITA: But I'll be watching the TV.

LAUREN: This is the type of bathroom that makes you never want to leave.

LAURITA: I know, but we're leaving.

LAUREN: Should we go ahead to Thaiverse?

LAURITA: I’m ready for it.

Let’s go.

LAUREN: Good morning.

LAURITA: Good morning.

You know, this is my second time visiting and I tell you it did not disappoint again.

LAUREN: It did not.

LAURITA: You know, the vibe is just what you want when you want a weekend away.

LAUREN: Absolutely, yeah.

So we are going to just walk around a little bit.

We might go down to the equestrian center, see some horses, and then we're going to go head to King Street Oyster Bar, which I'm super excited about.

We've heard great reviews there too.

Go, mom!

Woo!

Yeah!
