2 Years! woop woop

Tomorrow we are celebrating our 2 year anniversary!  I'm so excited and can't wait to celebrate with my best friend! Our first two years of marriage have been wonderful!   I can't wait to see what the next 50 years of marriage brings us!

Some of my favorite Radford Spots!

When you add up all the years I have lived in Radford by the time I moved it was a whopping 7 years!  I had really grown in love with this town and miss it dearly.  We are however, slowly coming to love Lynchburg; maybe not as much but close.  I thought I would share some of my favorite places in Radford that I spent many hours.  I couldn't imagine what life would have been like without college because you meet so many great people, experience great things, and find out more about yourself.  I love all the time I spent in Radford and now it has a little piece of my heart!

We loved the downtown movie theatre. Movies were cheap and popcorn even cheaper!

This was our first home! I loved it! Small but cute and comfy!

7-11 many late nights spent buying taquitos!

I really miss the free membership to the Rec Center

Hangar's and Waftos!

This was not opened until I was out of College but we've spent many a night there since!

Riley's... dancin the night away!

Thank you Radford for all the great memories!

National Harbor, MD

I am in love with this little town! Luke and I headed down to National Harbor , MD for a PT conference.  Luke was participating in lobbying for PT laws on Capitol Hill.  This conference was held at the Gaylord Hotel which was the biggest hotel I have ever seen! It was beautiful!

While Luke was busy with PT related activities I was touring the town! My favorite restaurant by far was Ketchup!  As many of you know I am an ketchup fanatic as well as my brother and my husband.  This restaurant was fabulous.  We were able to sit outside and have a beautiful view of the Potomac River.  With all of their food they brought out 7 different flavored ketchup's.  We loved them all! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are a ketchup lover , like me :) 

 

My favorite store was Charming Charlie's.  This store is heaven for women! It is a huge accessory, jewelry, clothing , shoes, etc. store.  It's also arranged by color! I spent an hour in there the first day and went back for more the day we left.

This was the view from our Hotel Room!

I think we have discovered that one of our very favorite things to do is travel :) We were only there for a day and night but it was so wonderful to get away from our little town and explore and relax in a bigger city.  I also love having an excuse to travel even for short trips!  We're already looking into the next PT conference.

King Family Vineyards

It has been so long since I've blogged, I think I have forgotten how to do it! I'm going to go all the way back to Mother's Day.  For this Mother's Day I ended up planning a tour of a few different wineries around the Crozet area. Our last stop of the day was at the King Family Vineyards.  It started with a wine tasting (where you get to keep your nice wine glass!) Let me recommend the Croze Rosae (I am probably spelling this wrong!) It was a light wine and it reminded me of home; hence the name. 

After our tasting we bought a bottle and then headed out to the horse stalls to see the horses.  My mom is in love with their horses and we spent a long time visiting with them. 

There were so many families/friends sitting down on the grounds of the Vineyards laughing, drinking, and having a great time together.  I want to go back one day, pack a picnic, buy a bottle of wine and enjoy it on the lawn!  If you get a change make your way on over to King Family and enjoy the wine, beautiful scenery, and family/friends.

Lynchburg Hill Cats

Hi there bloggers!

  I haven't blogged in so long! Now I have tons to share so keep an eye out.  My husband is a huge baseball fan so I wanted to share the info about the Hillcats.  If you're in the Lynchburg area the Hillcats Baseball team is a fun thing to go see.  They normally have a few games a week and on the weekends they have Fireworks! A few weeks ago we saw their opening game and  the fireworks after, wow, they were amazing! Probably one of the best fireworks shows I've ever seen!

  A great deal they have on Tuesday is buy one get one ticket free and if you bring in a kraft cheese wrapped you get one ticket for $2.00 so basically on Tuesdays you get two tickets for $2.00 not a bad deal! (They also let you keep your cheese wrapper so you can use it all season)  All throughout the week they have deals on food, tickets, seats, etc.  It's a great thing to do with friends, date night, or any get-me-out-of-the-house trip :)  If you end up going this summer look for us, we'll probably be there cheering the team on!

                                                 

Pulaski Tornados

As some of you have already seen the county I use to teach in was hit very hard with tornados about a week and a half ago.  The damage is unbelievable.  There were so many families that were affected and didn't even have insurance.  Homes were destroyed, power was lost, roofs were taken off homes, etc.  Its incredible that something like this could happen in good ol' southern VA.  If you have the means consider making a small donation:

A big THANK YOU to my fellow co-workers for their donations already :)
