Spring Break Trip

I had such a good Spring Break this year. I was fortunate enough to get to fly to Virginia to see my oldest son, his wife and young daughter (Jared, Megan, and Eleanor). We had a great time despite windy and pretty cool weather. Spring had barely begun to show it's face there with a few daffodils blooming and many buds appearing on other flowers and trees. It is some of the prettiest country I've ever been to. I especially love the old rock houses and the rolling hills.


It was so much fun to see Eleanor and what all she is up to now at eighteen months. I enjoyed every minute with her. She is so entertaining: reading, singing, dancing, and playing. There is never a dull moment when she awake. We took her to a children's museum, the library, an Easter Egg hunt and to their neighborhood park. We had some other outside things planned, but the weather didn't cooperate. I didn't care, I just wanted to spend time with her.


I also really enjoyed spending time with Jared and Megan. We went Geocaching one morning and found two caches. They introduced me to the sport one year ago, and I have really enjoyed it. This trip we went to one of their beautiful scenic parks which had good walking paths. They put Eleanor in a backpack and off we went. Jared taught me more about the GPS as we hunted. When we were finished I accompanied them on their weekly trip to Cosco. :) Megan even treated me to a nightly frozen margarita. Yum......


It was so hard to leave, but Danny and I are both going back in June so that helped a lot. This will be Danny's first trip there and he is really looking forward to it. Here are a few pictures I took while I was there. I found out it is really tough to get pictures of an active toddler, and I told Megan I now appreciate her photography even more.

My thanks to my kids for having me.....I love you!!
