Happy Birthday America!

Alas, I didn't get to fly to Utah and shoot some fireworks....sniff....sniff.... However, I did have a great weekend. Jeff and I spent the weekend with our friends Evelyn and Mike at Mike's parents house. It was the most relaxing, perfect weekend! On Thursday we drove up to Eden, NC and watched Transformers 2 at a drive in theater. It was soooo fun! The weather was perfect. We brought up a little grill and grilled hot dogs, chicken, and smores while we waited for the movie to start. Jeff and I watched the movie in lawn chairs, while Ev and Mike watched it in the love sac in the back of his truck. Jeff and I were totally jealous!!! We gotta get us a love sac! Here's some pictures from the drive in:


After the movie we drove about a half hour to Mike's house where we stayed for the rest of the weekend. On Friday we slept it (amazing!). Our friend Marti joined us and we played in the pool all day. In the evening we went on a tour of the great town of Danville, VA. It's a great little place! We had dinner at a place called Ham's where they have trivia games going on TV's throughout the restaurant. They give you a controller and you play against everyone else in the restaurant. It was so fun...turns out I'm not very good at trivia. We watched some fireworks after dinner and ice cream.

Saturday morning, Ev and I went to the Farmer's Market with Mike's mom. We took it easy all day. We had a barbecue, played games, and then watched a movie. Saturday evening we went to Piggly Wiggly so I could get a new Piggly Wiggly T-Shirt (I spilled bleach on my last one). After the Piggly Wiggly we went to downtown Danville and listened to the symphony play until the fireworks started. We watched the fireworks and then went home and took it easy for the rest of the night. Here's some pictures from the symphony/fireworks:


Jeff and I came back early this morning in time for church. We were both soooo tired today! We had such a good time! Unfortunately, we came back to pouring rain and gray skies. Back to real life!
