Lately everyone's posting contests to win this or that job - and we think that's just crazy. Everyone we know needs a break, not more work!

So Christopher's Wine & Cheese decided to offer folks a chance to win a dream vacation for 2 along the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway - seeing the sights, enjoying the many activities along the way while staying at the beautiful bed and breakfasts who came up with this idea and specialize every day in providing people a much needed break.

For six days in September, just as the leaves are starting to turn, you'll get to travel along the Parkway - spending 2 nights at The Inn at Meander Plantation in the heart of Virginia's wine country, then off to the more casual High Country area where you can indulge in the great outdoors while staying 2 nights at the Blowing Rock Victorian Inn before heading south to the always entertaining city of Asheville where you'll be spending another 2 nights at the 1900 Inn on Montford.

So how are we going to pick the winner? We're not. America is. Simply submit your video telling everyone why you need a break - and we'll put it up for a vote. Everyone has a tale to tell, here's a chance to tell yours. And we'll let the public decide why you're the one who really should be working less and taking a break more.

Every few days, we'll be posting more of the itinerary - meals and events hand selected by your innkeepers to really showcase the many fun things to do while vacationing in their area. As small, local business owner's - they've always got the inside scoop on their area and specialize in creating the most memorable, romantic get-a-ways imaginable.
