Alabama | Personal

This past Friday, Lauren, Christie, Lydi and I packed up and headed down to Alabama. We got to celebrate sweet Kaylee a little early with Lauren's Alabammy friends and family and most importantly, I got to bring my adorable little Maggie (well, that became her name once she was home in Va) back to her new home in Virginia. It was a ton of fun traveling with the girls and being able to shower Kaylee a little early! Those southern women sure do know how to put a baby shower together - although Christie and I did learn, you don't actually eat the food at these things, so we dived in!! 

Here are some pics from the trip!

Where's the road man?

And then there was snow!

And then sunshine and cows . . . we must have been in Alabama! :)

Then I got to meet my Mags!!! (Well, Riley)

I had to see what all the hype was about this place!

Stuffing her face pre-shower!

And the shower begins!!

Richmond Science Museum | Personal

For a Christmas gift, Nick and I took his two nephews Ethan and Ashton to the Richmond Science Museum this past weekend . . . thankfully we survived! We survived the "I have to go to the bathroom" five minutes after getting on the road, the "are we there yet?" ten minutes after getting on the road and the giant Plaza bill Ashton racked up! That kid can chow down . . . not sure where it goes! But I think they enjoyed the museum and by the time we finished settling in for the space show, they were knocked out! Successful day for all!

Smithfield + Surry Adventure | Personal

Last Saturday, Nick and I went roaming around Smithfield and Surry. It was a really nice day and the drive was so much fun! We took my camera and my Dad's camera along for the ride so I could get some pictures for class and get some practice in. We passed this one barn or barns that were really torn down, but they were beautiful! I love Rustic America. As we drove through downtown I saw two churches that I really liked, it's something about the way churches are built, especially older ones. Finally we went to Bacon's Castle, which was unfortunately closed to inside tours because it's still kind of torn up from the hurricane. But we went cotton pickin'!
