Good Old Improv!
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
About a month ago, Matt & I spent the weekend in DC with its newest resident, Lydia!
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 :)Saturday night we went to the Braves vs. Nationals game wearing our new Braves jerseys from Matt's parents and sister :) It was very chilly and the Braves lost... Matt hasn't seen them win in person since 1995!
Before heading home on Sunday, we visited the Hopper exhibit and the DE Jazz Festival on the mall with Lydia :)
