Alan's parents came into town for the Boston College game, the Hokies played great and so were the seats! We also headed out to the lakehouse and the Blacksburg house for a home cooked dinner with his grandparents before they had to go back home.

Maine: The way life should be
My parents met, got married, and still own their first home in Castine, Maine. Their wedding reception was at The Manor which is rumored to be Stephen King's inspiration for The Shining.
The Castine harbor is home to The State of Maine when it is not out at sea.
For my birthday my parents took us on a bioluminescence nightime kayak trip. The plankton react by lighting up when they are disturbed. The cove pratically glowed they were so sparkly!
We barbequed turkey dogs, brauts, and corn ears out at the backshore. Zoey had a blast playing fetch and trying to avoid having her tennis ball lost at sea. We were having so much fun we nearly got stranded because we didn't realize the tide was coming in!
We walked the 1.5 miles out to the lighthouse on the breakwater to watch the boats come in for Schooner day.

4th of July at the lake
As has become the tradition we spent the 4th of July out at the lakehouse before heading into town for the fireworks.
It's impossible not to relax at the lake. We had a huge group this year so we had to take a family picture. There are five generations in this photo starting with Alan's great grandmother Kathryn, his grandmother Barbara, her daughter Paula, her son Rick, and his daughter Evie.

Saxa Hoya!!!
I'm not sure whether I attend Georgetown or Hogwarts...
Not sure this can even be called a "dining hall" with the full bar. This would definetly not work at Virginia Tech, no one would ever graduate!

The Nutcracker
The Moscow Ballet came to Virginia Tech this year and of course we couldn't miss it. All of the dancers were very talented but the Arabian dancers stole the show with their acrobatics.

Lets go...Hokies!!!
Georgie came into town this weekend for the Hokie game. Friday night the boys took the Hooptie ride out downtown Then on Saturday we met up with my family and tailgated in the frigid cold, then headed over to Lane Stadium to see Virginia Tech beat The University of Virginia. After the game Jarod came down from Covington and went with Alan, Georgie, and Luke to the river for a winter bonfire. It was the weekend before my first test at Georgetown so I went but didn't stay long.
