Virginia

The first weekend in June we traveled to Virginia for my 10 year college reunion (yikes, where has the time flown?) But mostly we wanted to spend some time in Charlottesville and see some family in DC. We started off the trip with a dinner at Panera's with Lucas' Aunt Jill. It was great to see her again and catch up however short our time with her was. It's so hard to have long meals and conversations when you've got a baby.
Next, we drove to Andrea and Ameer's house to stay the night and spend the morning together. We couldn't believe how big Zayna and Amity have gotten even though we just saw them very recently.


I didn't take many photos in C-ville- mostly because it was 105 degrees out if you included the heat index (99 otherwise) and so humid that it was pointless to dry off after showers. I was just too uncomfortable to carry a camera and use it! :) We spent most of our time indoors in the AC in our cute Victorian house B&B and at various restaurants in town (Charlottesville has some great ones!) Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to go back again in the autumn one of these years. Maybe when the students are on fall break. There are some great hikes and wineries I want to share with Laith. Here's Laith sitting on a window seat in Cabell Hall where I used to always study:
