Douglas goes to Natural Bridge, VA

Last week we drove three hours north into Pennsylvania.  This week we reversed the direction and drove three hours south to Natural Bridge, Virginia.  We drove away from drizzly northern Virginia, through a couple of five-minute downpours, and were welcomed by beautiful, sunny (albeit rather humid) weather.  Lizzie, we wouldn't have known about this place had you not sent us your email, so thank you!

There is a small Indian site halfway down the path

Sam with one real Indian (Justin's mother, in the back) and two role players
We didn't stay for the light show because it starts at 9:30PM during the summer


There is beauty all around


And here are a few extras just for fun
 The little man loves to bury his head between the arm and the chest, even if he's not trying to sleep.

 He also likes this position at times.

Four W's visit d


We got a fun visit from our upstairs friends the other day.
Mia practicing being a Mom.  Brian is doing exactly what I do.....make strange faces and be goofy.
 Football!

Here's a good smile
 I wish I could relax like that


We love what he does with his head at about the 55-second mark

Douglas visits Falling Water

We drove 3 1/2 hours northwest of D.C. to visit arguably the most famous structure designed by Frank Lloyd Wright - the Falling Water house.  The tour was fascinating and the weather was absolutely perfect (55 degrees when we arrived in the morning).




Babies are not allowed inside the house, so Sam took the tour first while I wandered around with Douglas.
