19 JUNE 2008
Matt popped the question a few weeks ago and of course I said yes. It was very simple and sweet, just like I wanted. Caitlin came down that weekend to celebrate with Korbel and homemade cake in hand, yum! We also had an intense shopping experience at David's Bridal; Mom ordered a dress for me off ebay instead :) The ceremony will be in Seaside, FL with family and a very few close friends... we are so excited!
P.S. Our date was carefully chosen so we could attend Kayla's wedding the weekend before and Allison's the weekend after :)
Big Meadows Camp
We spent last weekend in Shenandoah National Park at Big Meadows Campground. After setting up our site, Matt, Doc and I tackled the Lewis Falls 3.3 mile hiking trail. While on the hike we met some nice folks who took a photo of us, enjoyed the 81' waterfall and discovered just how out of shape we are. Most of the next day was spent recovering and eating, of course ;)
We ended up staying only one night due to the cold, even Doc was all bundled up. Next time we go during the chilly season, I hope to stay at the lodge. I would miss the neighbors and the smores though!
P.S. This view along the way reminded me of the scenery on the way to my grandmothers in KY.
DC: Lydia's New Home
We rode the metro from Franconia/Springfield into the district for Matt's first zoo experience. I have never been a fan of gorillas, and these rambunctious guys didn't change my mind. We did enjoy seeing the pandas, sea creatures, sexy turtles and all the other animals :)
Before heading home on Sunday, we visited the Hopper exhibit and the DE Jazz Festival on the mall with Lydia :)
