Five G's: We're Back!

Colin was on vacation last week, so we trekked all around & had a good ole time visiting family & friends. We started off in Richmond, where we got to hang out with my (Libby's) family, celebrate my sister's birthday, hang out with my best bud Kerri, see Colin's med school buddies & their wives (now with kids too!), go out to see Dreamgirls, & even (for Colin) to catch a UVA b-ball game in the new arena. Then we headed up to MD to spend an afternoon & night with my dear friend Corinne & her family. Again, Colin needed a sports fix, so he checked out a Wizards game, while I was perfectly content to go out to eat with my friend. Wednesday, our little family of 3 spent a few hours in Washington DC. It was fun--Will got to see the dinosaurs in the Museum of Natural History for the first time, we wandered around the mall (the grassy one--not the one I'd typically prefer), and we viewed the WWII memorial for the first time. Then off to Colonial Beach for a couple of days, where we ate lots & lots of tasty cookies & hung out with the Gallahans. After a quick visit with Colin's grandparents in Mineral, VA, we were back to Richmond. This time we ditched Will (in the loving care of my parents, of course) and spent a night & day in downtown Richmond, eating out in non-kid friendly restaurants, staying in a hotel & sleeping in till the glorious hour of 8 am, and feeling like we were Colin & Libby, not just dada & mama. (Meanwhile, Will was living it up eating ice cream for lunch and buying new trucks at Target, so no need to feel sorry for him.) It was a great week, and it was fun to catch up with so many different people. Now we're back (unfortunately with a broken water heater! yikes!) and ready to get back into the routine... Due to some hectic work months ahead for Colin, I don't think we'll be on the road again for awhile, but feel free to stop by & say hi :)
