curles

I thought that I had curly hair in Idaho but I was wrong. Here on the far side of Virginia there is a lot of humidity and my hair and skin loves it. I believe that my hair has curled to about 3 in shorter than when I boarded the airplane to fly here. And my skin has cleared up and is so much softer than ever before. I always say "go have an adventure everyday."

A Day on the river

Today was a hot day and the kids are in school so Marc and I decided to exscape and spend the day on the Shanendougha River which flows to the patomac. It is located about a 40 minute five from our place of residance by the town of Front Royal. It was perfect did not see another boat on the water. And tepmeratures were in the mid 90's. Did a 3 mile float and saw plenty of wildlife. Saw a baby fox some turtles and an eagle. Unfortunately only had a chance to photograph the turtles. And still made it home before the children came home from school.

Day trip to DC in January

Would like to post some photos that were taken from a day trip to DC this Jan. It was a great trip but ended out being a lot of walking. Took the subway to china town and had lunch. Then walked to the Washington monument. Stopping at the WW II memorial and found Roger's brothers name on it. Then walked to George Washington university to catch the subway home.

Rainy day in Virginia

It was another rainy day in Manassas. the morning was wonderful with sun and spotty clouds but as the day went on the more could and rainy it got. Ashlyn had her room cleaned today it was a disaster. Do not know how it could have gotten as bad as it got. New rule for her it has to be clean before she goes to bed or else she has to clean it before school.

Report card

It was report card day. as usual the good bad and the ugly was there. Ashlyn did great as ussual. She was plesantly suprised that she passed history. Morgan is improving but will have summer school.

Spring Break

We decided to take the family to busch gardens and jamestown for spring break. We talked it over and decided that instead of taking one large vacation we would take several small vacations and busch gardens would be a good place to go. It is centerly located by yorktown and jamestown as well as Williamsburg. It was a lot of fun. We left saterday morning and drove the 2.5 hours to Busch gardens and played till evening. Then checked into a hotel. I was thrilled with the fact that it is still off season so we were able to get a room for 30 dollars a night. Next morning we went to Jamestown. Right next to the sight of the original colony they have built a reproduction of the original fort and a sample of an original indian village. With scale size ships in the harbor that you can walk thru. When we were done we drove to Virginia Beach. It was a little windy and a little cold. Next day we woke up to rain. It rained an inch that day. We went to Busch gardens and had a wonderful day. we almost had the park to ourselves.
