And now we find ourselves in W'burg

Ok, Tour de America 2008 is finally coming to a close. With next week's trip to Germany cancelled, that means that Brad and I will actually be home next weekend with no weddings or trips or anything else - woo hoo!

But we had one last fun trip to take before the Tour closed ... Williamsburg! We drove down on Saturday morning with the intent of stopping and checking out Kiera and Ryan's new place in Richmond, VA but our plans were stymied when Kiera called to say she had pink eye and was contagious. Figuring we could drive down to Richmond another weekend when the germs were conquered, we decided to head straight to W'burg instead. So we finally got to check out my parent's new house which they are in the process of moving in to. The house is a-mazing! Could certainly use a bit more furniture but everything else about it rocks! Brad especially enjoyed that the 10th hole of a golf course is basically in their backyard so he took advantage of the opportunity to walk on to the course and hit some balls.

We spent the day hanging out with my parents and Sharon and then on Sunday, Kiera (on meds and no longer contagious!), Ryan and Natalie joined us as well as my Aunt Claire, Uncle Pat, cousin Kevin, his wife Kerrie, and their 4 kids - Alanna, Patrick, Collin and Kiera. We had a great day just chillin on the screen porch in the back.

Duke thoroughly enjoyed the 2 long car rides in as many days, walks on the golf course and in downtown W-burg, and being chased by Natalie all day on Sunday. We all returned home on Sunday night exhausted, none more so than the Dukester!
