Charlottesville Weekend

We packed up the mini-van and drove down to Charlottesville Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with Dan's brother, Ryan, and his family. Nathan loves playing with his cousins Carter and Isabelle, and soon enough, Andrew will too. It was another amazing July weekend with low humidity, so we literally spent the whole day on Saturday outside! We started out the morning with a trip to the pool.






After the pool, we drove to the Corner and had a picnic lunch on the lawn. The kids enjoyed bagels and cream cheese from Bodos and the adults enjoyed sandwiches from Take-It-Away (yummy!). Now if only both places would open up locations here in Northern Virginia. The kids had a blast running around on the lawn and we even got to catch up with another friend, Angie and two of her children.





On the drive back to their house, Mindy and I stopped at Arch's to pick up some frozen yogurt treats for the adults (the kids were supposed to be napping). Back at the house, Nathan, Carter & Isabelle loved playing outside on the playground and riding bikes down the driveway. The kids were so tired on Saturday night that we had all three bathed, in bed and asleep by 8 pm! The adults then enjoyed pizza from Crozet Pizza with wine and beer. It was just the perfect weekend!!



PS - For all you UVA alumni, is your mouth watering??? We sure hit some of the best food spots all in one day!! Now back to the gym and my "sensible" diet so I can rebuild my muscles and lose some of this baby fat!!
