We're back!

We have returned from our journey to Roanoke! It was a long and exhausting drive, but well worth it. I am not sure which is harder. The drive or unloading the car and then unpacking. We really enjoyed our stay. We got to meet Lee and Jon's friends and see a bit of Roanoke. I will describe Roanoke as crunchy. For those of you not familiar with the term I will describe it as progressive and hip. A lot of all natural products, recycling, outdoorsy and that sort of thing. Maybe that is why I liked it so much. Sometimes life is too pre-packaged and we just need to get back to simplicity. We did get to venture to the center of town and go to the farmer's market. I left with some pretty fabulous soap, not to mention that Leebug hooked me up with some awesome body shop products! We took Brady to Artventure where she got to exercise her artistic mind. A cool little place where she got to paint and create. Michael got to spend the day with Jon on the golf course. I think he really enjoyed himself as he hasn't been able to golf for quite a while. Brady and Oliver did very well on the long drive. The only negative thing I can say about the whole weekend is that it was way too short. Next time it will have to be a four day weekend. I don't get to see my Leebug enough.
Less than two weeks until Michael leaves for Australia. It should be the trip of a lifetime. It will be odd not to have him home every night, but I didn't want him to miss the opportunity for him to have an exciting trip abroad.
Well, back to the daily life. It doesn't look to be a very exciting week. I have a PTA meeting and Brady has tap and tumbling and I think she has Daisy Scouts this week. Whew! I am tired already.
