From our weekend in the Northern Neck

weekend at the lake

I decided to take Tim away for a weekend to celebrate his birthday. I got tickets for the Sugarland concert in Roanoke Rapids, NC, and found a little place for us to stay on Lake Gaston. Now this was a very no-frills B&B but the owners couldn't have been nicer, and the price was right. Well, apparently the man also does some taxidermy on the side... Tim actually asked him this because of the decor:

Dead animals aside, we did have a lovely time. The concert was really fun and it was such a pretty night.

We slept and relaxed a lot, which was what we needed!

So they make these recorded announcements at the Atlanta airport warning you to be careful of your shoes on escalators so as to "avoid shoe entrapment". Repeatedly. I know this because I spent about 4 hours there Saturday night and I laughed every time I heard it. SHOE ENTRAPMENT? Seriously.

Well, we are back from our trip to Washington - Seattle and the San Juan Islands. It was truly lovely. I could spend a lot more time out there. So we went up the Space Needle:

Toured Pike Place Market:

and saw Orca whales!
