This is going to be super short because i’m Updating the blog on my phone. And no doubt it will be full of typos. Anyway, we said goodbye to Mike’s dude of the family and hello to Grandma Rita today. We had a great time st the family barbecue yesterday. The kids had a blast, we’re running around like maniacs even though it was crazy hot. Felt like Texas yesterday, in fact the temps were nearly identical, but the humidity here made it much hotter and grosser than TX. Same for today. In fact tomorrow is supposed to be near 100, before that nasty old heat index comes into play.
Anyway, barbecue... super fun. Great to see everybody and catch up. The distance between us all is hard, would love to be able to do that on a regular basis. We’ll try harder to keep in touch better.
Hard to say goodbye to everyone this morning, but good to see mom. All things considered, she’s doing well. We spent the afternoon visiting the MWC campus, though it’s UMW now. Anyway. Still beautiful, but parts were very very different. Some parts felt familiar and were fun to reminisce over, other parts are so new it felt foreign and not at all theschool that we knew.
Back at mom’s House the boys played the piano for her, and we even managed to get Mom to play a bit too. Grabbed a quick bite at Carlos O’Kelly’s for old times sake. Was a bit hard to do that being Texans for so long now. But, we ordered carefully and while it wasn’t our Mexican comfort food it was alright. Definitely passed on the quest though, just won’t cut it here!
To round out the evening we went to Carl’s for some ice cream. Old habits die hard and Mine found his usual pineapple shake while I got my usual chocolate malt. Alex tried his first chocolate malt, Ben went with a traditional chocolate shake. Perfect way to round out the evening.
As for tomorrow, we’ll see downtown Fredericksburg, some battlefields, maybe Belmont where we got married. And, of course whatever Mom wants to do.
Today kicked off week 3, and we officially hit 2000 miles.
