(Safe) Weekend Fun in West Virginia this Holiday Season
It’s Monday, and that means it’s back to the ole’ grindstone. That said, I did have a lovely week at The Greenbrier Resort and (once again) Dobra Zupas with friends and fam. It’s nice to find fun, festive and safe activities to do this holiday season (outside of the home, at that) and I’m going to share a bit with you all about how I’ve been spending the last week or so in wild, wonderful WV!
Christmas season at The Greenbrier Resort
Okay, I’ll admit it— I’m a proud WV gal, but I’d never actually been to The Greenbrier until this year. Crazy, I know; but I’m glad I finally decided to go with my family (after seeing some other friends and family go and post beautiful photos of their stays there!)
Upon arrival our temperatures were all taken before we could even enter resort grounds, as well as masks having to be on the entire time we were indoors or around others in general (even in the courtyard rotunda, etc.) We felt super safe with all those precautions in place, as well as the fact that The Greenbrier is an absolutely massive building, so even at Christmastime one can spread out well beyond six feet apart from others not in their group.
From seeing Santa Claus with my niece and nephew to gazing at the forty Christmas trees inside and on the property, The Greenbrier definitely exceeded all my expectations and we had a lovely morning stroll, lunch at Draper’s, and evening tea there before the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at 5:30 PM.

Brunch at Dobra Zupas in Beckley, WV
As if their dinner wasn’t splendid enough, Dobra Zupas (probably my favorite dining spot in Beckley, WV) has a brunch menu that’s out-of-this-world good (including bottomless mimosas, which we all know doesn’t hurt!)
From the bottomless mimosa and Bloody Mary options coming in at just $13 a pop (a total steal IMO) to the delicious crab fondue starter and multiple breakfast platter or fancy pancake options, Zupas brunch is seriously good. If you’re bored on a Sunday morning in Beckley (and want to eat something yummy,) this is definitely the spot to go!

So, what do you like to do on a WV weekend in 2020? What fun, safe activities have you found for friends and family? Let’s discuss!
