• Virginia Day 2 - Heather & Rob's Wedding

    June 4, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    We started the morning off with a slow walk on the Virginia Creeper Trail that was not far from our cabin. But that was short lived as both of the boys brought a big case of the tireds from last night's party.

    We grab some tasty Greek food for lunch, then headed back to the cabin to rest up and get ready for the wedding. 0

    Officiating a wedding is something I never expected to be asked to do, but man, what an absolute honor to be in the midst of Heather & Rob exchanging their most sacred vows. The wedding was such a joyous reason to celebrate! And what a party that followed. The kids' table was top notch and Holden quickly paired up with a buddy he'd made the night before. Relaxing in a hammock during cocktail hour? Sign E up! The place settings, provided a "counting the rings of the tree" activity (32 year old tree, by #holdenis7 's count) and I will NEVER get tired of pics of Heather twirling in that gorgeous dress.

  • Virginia - Day 1

    June 3, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

    We woke up at our Airbnb on Friday morning in Abingdon, VA, to begin celebrating Heather & Robbie's wedding weekend. The cabin and surrounding area were rustic and lovely... The bug situation in the cabin was substantially less desirable. The good news is we were busy with wedding festivities all weekend, so didn't spend much time in the cabin.

    Friday the boys and I went to meet up with other wedding guests & tour the town. Heather took friends on a walking tour of the town, but the boys got distracted by the first playground we spotted. While they played Floor Is Lava Ninja Warrior, I spotted a Free Little Library and read some Russian poetry that someone had left for the taking. It was a cool, beautiful morning and a lovely way to start the weekend.

    Later in the afternoon Nate joined us after he finished work and we went to the rehearsal, followed by dinner at a neighborhood brewery, Wolf Hills Brewery. The boys had a blast with games and meeting new kid friends who had also rolled in for the wedding. Holden spotted a giant moth and was quite smitten by it, but not as much as he's smitten by Heather. Lots of laughs and hugs were shared this night. We couldn't have asked for better weather or better hosts.

    After days of packing the camper, packing the car & topper, and packing up 2/3 of our house so that construction can begin next week on a new addition, we are finally on the road.

    Not long after we got on the interstate, we were met with bumper-to-bumper traffic and then had to drive through a series of storms with heavy rains.

    Nate and I are so wiped out from getting the house packed up that I don't think either of us have much excitement for the trip yet, but I'm sure that will soon enough. I've spent so much time planning the trip and the renovation to the house, it's kind of surreal that it's all actually happening.
