It’s been a challenging fall for us, and so many of our normal activities have been altered. We decided to rent a small cottage for an impromptu visit to Lake Anna State Park to get out of town for the weekend. It was just what we needed.
Ammy and Papa came to visit and we enjoyed playing with them around the house. Then we took off to Smith Mountain Lake State Park to enjoy time at the cabin and on the pontoon boat!
My parents came to visit and we had a great time at the beach together! It was good to see them after such a long time and even more fun to splash with them in the waves.
We took a few days to go to D.C. and see the Smithsonian Museums that were open. We visited The American History Museum, The National Zoo, The American Art Museum, and The National Air and Space Museum at Chantilly. We also walked the mall and saw The Capitol, The White House, and the Washington and Lincoln Monuments. Brooke took a lot of the pictures with her new kids’ camera.
We rented a one-hundred-year-old farmhouse on sixty-six acres for spring break this year. On the way up, we stopped at the NC Museum of Art to walk their statue garden. We hiked Raven Rock State Park and around the Historic Yates Mill County Park. In the afternoons we relaxed on the farm, played with the horses, and the kiddos even got to ride one. It was a fun last-minute trip!
