Down in Virginia

Our weekend turned out to be a huge hit, despite torrential downpours and mosquito bite attacks (my legs look like those monsters had a field day on them).

John and I had a nice dinner downtown for his birthday Friday. The food was pretty good and the service awesome. He loved the new I-pod I gave him and the fact that the restaurant didn't sing, but he still got flan.

Saturday we headed to VA with John's brother Chris and his wife Stacey. The four hour drive to Fredricksburg is never an enjoyable one in my opinion. The drivers outside of DC are terrifying and the rainy weather didn't help my nerves, but when we finally arrived to celebrate Andrew's 30th it was well worth it. Andrew and my sister-n-law Sue had a BBQ and a joint cake for he and John (they share the same actual birthday) and our niece Victoria helped make the moment even more enjoyable.

Here John is with his brother's and me with my sisters-n-law.

After the afternoon party, we all got some needed rest and then headed out to the Capital Ale House in downtown Frericksburg. They had a novel for a beer list, which made us all giddy, and very delicious food.

Hubby enjoyed his specialty cider so much that the night ended with him going for a swim, fully clothed in our hotel pool. Needless to say it was a very fun and memorable weekend.
