With record temperatures headed our way, we decided a water weekend was the best defense. Friday evening - Matt, Katie and I packed up and headed down to Popa and Abu's river house. Sadly, it had been 2 years since our last trip down there.....Jake's high school graduation party.
We arrived late Friday night, put Katie to bed, and prepared for round 1 of the extreme storms over the weekend. Fortunately, the river house didn't lose power.....but our place in Richmond did. Katie woke up the next morning super excited. She and I went down to the dock early to see the fish, crabs, and jelly fish (tons of them).
Later in the day - once Rob and Claire had arrived - we all headed out on the boat. Katie and Claire took turns sitting on my lap or Uncle Matt's. Also, Popa took them out to see a special bird's nest.....it was so cute to watch the girls. Both in the their life vests, peering out over the front of the boat, like best buddies.
After a nice dinner Saturday evening, we headed back to Richmond. The trip home was terrible!!! We drove through a tornado warning - complete with a hail storm, multiple trees across I-64, and horrible rain and wind. Such a wonderful day - but we were so happy to reach home safely last night. Phew! Special Thanks to Popa and Abu for such a fun weekend....
Two more days in Richmond until we leave for Roanoke for a the rest of the week. Hopefully we will be able to get the rest of our boxes unpacked, and get the Roanoke house - somewhat - in order.
