Life Outside DC

We finally got out of town!  Last weekend we went to a friend's family house on Smith Mountain Lake and enjoyed the water, sunshine (I swear there was sun), and quiet time.  It was a long 5.5 hour drive from DC but it was well worth it.  Poor Bambi got sent to the dog hotel but Pancho, Thumper, and I greatly enjoyed our time without dog responsibility.

We felt so welcome and are honored to have such wonderful friends in our lives.  Paris Chica's family was so kind and it was good to catch up with her.  


Out on the boat!

One of the highlights of this trip was seeing the house where What About Bob was filmed!  One of our all-time favorite movies.  The house has changed a little since 1991 but I still recognize the porch and the staircase out back from the movie!

We are relaxing this weekend and catching up on to-do items.  Then for Labor Day weekend we are off to Amish Country!  Thumper sure is getting some traveling in these days :-)
