The kids and I (and Tucker!), and then Derek too, spent a wonderful long weekend vacationing with Nana & Papa in Williamsburg, Virginia. Heather discovered humidity (she's not become friends with it!), Papa took us to an orchard where we picked 2 pecks (18 pounds!) of fresh peaches and I particularly enjoyed trying one from each tree before I picked any from that tree... mmm, yummy!
Aunt Cheryl, Meredith, Annabeth, & Colleen arrived on Friday & Derek on Saturday. The Farmer's Market in Old Town provided us with part of our dinner, and Nana made braised lamb shanks... I need that recipe! We raced in the community pool (everyone beat Papa, I barely beat Colleen, and Annabeth crushed me in a race where I had to swim 75 & she swam 100 yards!)
Heather received her birthday present early from Nana & Papa, and from Mom & Dad. Let's just say that her life goal has been achieved and now I have MacBook envy. I might have to "borrow" her new computer if mine just can't do the job properly!
Tucker enjoyed waking up Nana, getting on furniture without permission, hanging out on the golf course, barking at the geese, and a "special" walk with Annabeth & Heather! He did not enjoy the red eye flight from LAX.
Nana & Papa shared with us their amazing photos from: Australia, New Zealand, and their most recent trip to Scandinavia, the Arctic Circle, and Russia! Wow!
On Tuesday morning, we had to pack up all 11 suitcases & 4 backpacks & 3 computers & Tucker to drive to Washington DC for the Fulbright Orientation.
