VA trip

If only we could have summer vacation like back in grade school again. Instead we have these short "long-weekends" that I guess are supposed to relax us and give us a break? In my opinion, they're way too short. By the time you finally let go of your racing brain and the "to-do" list and just relax...it's time for the break to end and to head back to work. That's at least how Matthew and I felt this morning! We had a great time visiting my family for the past few days though. First, we headed to Harrisonburg to visit my best bud from high school. I would have put our picture on here, but like a doof, I closed my eyes...here's one of Matthew and I in their backyard anyhow :0) And then there was the enthralling Apple store trip with the family to get Mom's anniversary/birthday/Mother's Day gift...her new pride and joy, her green mini ipod...AND a new Mac computer. Matthew could barely contain his excitement. We had to drag him out of the store though as he clutched onto a new widescreen monitor begging it to come home with him (he, he, he). Overall, it was such a great time with my family just relaxing and eating good food and enjoying each other's laughs and sharing the baby kicks. We're looking forward to getting a little more time with them at the beach in a couple weeks, when the long lost Hall sister, Callie, returns from Costa Rica. One last picture of the soon-to-be-grandma and soon-to-be-mama!
