I'm not sure exactly how to describe our weekend away; it was wonderful, relaxing, fun, stress free, care free. We had such a good time and are very thankful for my parents. They did a great job taking care of the kids! On Friday, we drove down to Blacksburg and spent the afternoon on the campus of Virginia Tech. Before hitting the campus, though, we stopped for lunch at one of our favorite spots, Macado's. Yummy soups and sandwiches!
Then we went on campus and stopped by some of our favorite spots.
Oh, chemistry building, how I've missed thee:
JD missed Randolph Hall, too:
JD lived in Vawter Hall is freshman year:
We walked around the drillfield:
and visited the April 16, 2007 memorial:
Then we acted like old fogies and discussed how much things had changed and headed to the bookstore to pick up some VT gear for the kids. Then we enjoyed some major sales at the new shopping center--Ann Taylor jeans for $14--yippeeee!!
On Saturday, after a very leisurely morning at our hotel, we headed to Charlotte for the wedding. I didn't take many pictures, but here's one of us at the reception:
The kids did great while we were gone, and aside from Isabel being a bit clingy when we got back, the re-entry went smoothly. Now, we just need another excuse to get away!

So glad you had a wonderful weekend away. I enjoyed seeing your pictures of Tech but I don't miss the chemistry building at all!
I look seven feet tall. You should have stood on the uphill side.
