Camping Trip

Nick & I got a camping trip in last weekend.  We went to Chickahominy Riverfront park over by Williamsburg.  The weather was nice and cool, but not cold.  Our camp site had electric hookup, so we did spoil ourselves and had a little heater in the tent with us!

We set our site up and then drove into town to have an early dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings (and watch the Iowa game)!  It was a nice relaxing evening by the fire, and good breakfast in the morning.

Pumpkin Patch

We were able to get to our favorite pumpkin patch this year.  Picked some great pumpkin varieties, had the awesome pumpkin ice cream, and enjoyed the ferry trip across the river.  It was a little weird this year though - since this was our first experience doing something as a family without Emma being here!  She was the 1st one that tried the pumpkin ice cream many years ago and got us all hooked! Ang & I ended the day with nice fire in our fire pit as we talked with Emma on speaker phone.

Mountain Day Visit

In early Oct I was able to drive down to Berry College and see Emma for the weekend.  It was Mountain Day/Weekend at the college, so there was lots of little events throughout the weekend.  It seemed more oriented towards alumni however, but we still had a great time!

She showed me around campus, this time as a resident student vs. the visits we've had in the past when it was new to both of us.  I got to see the Martha Berry estate/grounds where she works, we went to a football game, explored the downtown main street strip, and generally just got to spend the weekend together. It was wonderful
