Final Trip to D.C. (for now!)

Juliet and I went up to D.C. last weekend to visit you one last time before you finished working there and we move.  We had a great time!  We got to visit base and Walter Reed Hospital, twice, once to swim.  We went out one night for dancing, Margaritas, and really cheap chips, salsa, and guacamole.  We spent one morning at the Zoo and one afternoon in downtown D.C.  Saturday evening we grilled out with some friends.  So, grilling with you and Nate is extraordinary.  You guys made grilled chicken and fall off the bone ribs in homemade BBQ sauce.  YUM.  You also made watermelon soda drink and chocolate filled lava cupcakes for dessert. So good!  On Sunday we made the not so short drive down to Raleigh, NC to attend Jenique's wedding.  Thanks for taking that trip with me and allowing some college friends to meet you and Juliet. 

Danville Trip

Juliet, my mom, and I headed up to my grandparents' home in Danville, VA and you drove down and met us there.  It was a fun and relaxing weekend!  My mom's best friend, Ann, and her daughter, Hannah, hosted lovely a wedding shower at their home for us and it was fun for you to get to take part in one of our showers :)  I even let you open like two gifts and the one card I let you open said “For the Bride to Be”.  Haha. The weekend consisted of lots of food eaten and time spent just being together.  We went on a 20 mile bike ride together before church on Sunday and enjoyed the beautiful weather and countryside.  It was so wonderful to have you visiting with my grandparents one more time before the wedding.  You just fit in so well!  I loved hearing you and my grandfather just talking about common interests (like guns!).
