Well, we didn't go anywhere (unless you count the trip to Valvoline to get the oil changed -- a few thousand miles late, but better late than never, yes?; a trip to Lowes for moving boxes and shrink wrap on a roll -- I love that stuff; and 45min waiting in line at the bank to deposit checks that we had to make sure went in on time ... dh did all that while I lolled on the couch and the kids "free explored" on the computer!). Once dh got home, Saturday was spent in a whirlwind of packing books (who bought all these anyway!), dishes and other parts of the kitchen we won't need for the next week, and taking apart beds to get them ready to be moved. Dh declard "Sunday" at 4p.m. and we rested the rest of the weekend -- ya gotta love this guy, eh?
Sunday, June 21st -- the longest day of the year!
On Sunday dh did get us up bright and early so he could open his Father's Day gift ... no, he actually got us up early (6:00 a.m. for me and 6:30 for the kiddoes) to head to the 7:30 a.m. Mass so we could get a jump on the day. At 9 a.m. a starving crew in a silver minivan barely made it to Panera to consume mass quantities of bagels and cream cheese before heading south on a trip of exploration: destination ... Lake Anna State Park.
Wow, this place is gorgeous ...
with a lovely beach ...
warm lake water ...
concession stand ...
and a place for dh and I to relax as we watched the kids frolic and called FIL to wish him a happy Father's Day! And we've decided we're going to try out as many Virginia State Parks as we can over the next few years or so ... the couple we've been to so far are AMAZING!
Home by 3:30 (VERY little traffic both ways which was a gift from God for dh) and peaceful dinner, a few episodes of the old Waltons ... and voila ... Father's Day 2009 was a success!
Happy Father's Day to my dear husband who makes me so much more than I was before ... I love you, handsome!
