Well… I’ve been a bit slacking with the updates lately, but there’s been a good bit going on. My folks came to visit… or maybe that was the end of May… But.. in any case… we made ribs, we walked around the parkway.. went on top of the Rough Ridge Overlook…
Here’s Virginia and in the background, you can see the Linn Cove Viaduct… So, after getting down from Rough Ridge, we went under the Viaduct on the hiking trail there.
Other than that… it was a lot of eating and relaxing.
The next weekend started off with Leah and Brian coming down. They just got engaged, so to celebrate… we ate. Friday was the Parisian Chicken … Saturday, we did some nice thick rib-eyes and our awesome 3 cheese mac and cheese topped with caramelized shallots… and there was pound cake… and pie… and Leah and Brian brought us some chocolate covered bacon …
This stuff is pure evil… awesome… but pure evil…
Sunday, Leah and Brian took off… but we sent them on their way with a belly full of tasty waffles.
Sunday afternoon, Virginia’s parents came into town after pending their weekend in Abingdon / Damascus seeing plays and riding bicycles. We relaxed a bit, and then were out walking around again.
This is a bit further up the trail that goes under the Viaduct (we went there on Monday)… so is the following sequence of pictures:
After taking a nice walk, Virginia had to stop by her office for a while… because she’s not good at this whole “taking a day off” thing… so, while she was doing that, Virginia’s folks and I took a nice walk around campus looking at the artwork. We also had a nice little stop at the new frozen custard place in town… that stuff is rather tasty…
Last weekend, Virginia went up to Minneapolis to visit Martha. She tells me that visiting Martha is like visiting your fairy godmother… she makes all of your wishes come true apparently… But… I’ll let Virginia tell that story… I’ll just be a fly on the wall…
