The VGs Visit

Mom, Dad, and Kayla spent their spring break at our place. We showed them around Greensboro and made a trip up to Virginia Beach. At Virginia Beach we toured the Lighthouse of Terror (more commonly known as the Cape Henry Lighthouses)which kicked my fear of heights into gear because of the tall spirally stairs. Trust me, it was scary. But the view from the top was well worth it.



We also toured the Battleship Wisconsin, checked out an aquarium, Chesapeake Bay Bridge, hung out at the beach, and ate a ton of seafood. Oh, and all the gift shops we could handle. Every so often, we'd hear Kayla suggest her favorite source of entertainment- "Gift shop?" and we'd stop to shop.







Dad's brother Alan and his wife Linda drove from Raleigh to have Easter dinner with us.It had been a long time since they saw each other, so it was a special small reunion. Despite the time and distance, you can easily tell Dad and Alan are related.


That's what I love about family. Time and distance doesn't matter. In a way you're always stuck with each other, and that's just fine by me.

Marchy March

We were happy to have visitors in March! Sue and Brian stayed with us a few days. While they were here, Brian made his famous recipe for grilled salmon. We also baked brownies, bundled up and sat around a fire pit at night, and basically enjoyed good company for a few days.

During the time Sue was here, it was also the anniversary of a Revolutionary War battle in a nearby park. So we walked across the street to the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park to watch the reenactment of a battle that once took place on those very grounds. The reenactors fired weapons, charged each other on the field, and some even played dead.



We love having people come visit and look forward to more company soon!
