Revolution!!!



Today, we headed to a Richmond Revolution game with our Dear Onofrys. We tailgated in the parking lot - which was great for us football junkies. They had some bouncy houses and some corn-hole games set up for the kids. After enjoying that stuff, we headed in to find our seats. As we were trying to figure out where we were going to sit, this man came up to us and said follow me. He led us all to a Luxury Box (keep in mind they play in a temporary facility so it sounds better than it is - but it is still AWESOME!). We loved it! We were right on the side. The girls loved getting to talk to the football players. We could see absolutely everything. And - it turns out the man who gave us such great seats is the CEO of the new sports facility that they are trying to build here. We became fans of the IFL for sure.

Spring Break



Well, the kids and I headed to North Carolina for the last few days of Spring Break. Our first stop was the beach to see Aunt Jenny. I had not really expected very good weather, but was pleasantly surprised. We went to Downtown Wilmington and walked The Peacemaker ship that was docked for The Azalea Festival. Then, after a quick stop at Walmart for some bathing suits and a quick check-in at the hotel, we headed to the beach where The Gals didn't care how cold the water was, and The Soldier was able to walk the boardwalk. After a couple of days, we headed to Grammy and Papa's. The Gals loved playing with the dogs. It was a wonderful visit. But, it is great to be home!

Graduation

So, we were on our way Monday to Baltimore with Wonderful Husband when I got a text message from The Soldier that his graduation was in two days, and he wanted us to be there. So, WH turned around, dropped The Gals and I at home, and headed back to his meetings in Baltimore. The Gals were disappointed about having to miss our trip, but the three of us were very proud of The Soldier today as he finished his training.

Happy Easter!

Today has been wonderful! It started with a sunrise church service on the water. Followed by a big breakfast, a long nap, and then an afternoon of fun with friends while I cooked a huge meal (per Wonderful Husband's request). The weather was fantastic. We sat on the back porch for a long time. Only issue was the pollen. The Gals eyes have been red and runny all day - but that didn't stop them from looking for eggs in the egg hunt.

I hope everyone had as fantastic a day was we did! Happy Easter!

The Quick Visit

We got a surprise Easter visit from The Soldier.

Spring Break Kick Off



We spent a fantastic day with friends at the go-kart track. After racing together(Wonderful Husband and The Soccer Player vs. Me and The Dancer), the kids got to ride kid-size go-karts all by themselves.

Followed it up with a round of mini-golf. And then headed to a nearby barbecue place for lunch. Nice way to kick off the week!
