The long weekend...
I love a long weekend. It's a special gift once in a while. I also love a good road trip. But I think my driving limit is really 5-6 hours. Anything beyond that is just too much. What was odd is that it took us longer to get home even though we stopped less. We thought it could have been the high winds perhaps.
Our view from the room was lovely and if I remember to download the pics to my iBook tonight I'll post one. We saw all over Virginia Beach, Norfolk and even some of Newport News. The sad thing is that we never stepped foot onto the beach even though our hotel was located right on it. We did, however, go to Trader Joe's and my mother filled up the trunk with grocery bags. That in addition to our very late lunch/early dinner at Cheesecake Factory made for a good day. I got the avocado rolls and mom got the lettuce wraps. Both were excellent. Poor Andrea got the roasted artichokes which sounded good in theory but ended up being kind of strange. We each got a yummy slice of cheesecake which none of us could finish so we brought them home. So I've now had cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory.
Andrea and her son Morgan are doing well. He's developing very fast and should get the casts off his legs in just a few weeks. He's only 6 weeks old but already turned himself over. Andrea thinks the leg casts helped with that but it's still impressive.
Well I still have a desire to live up in that general area so that'll be towards the top of my list along with Baltimore.

Mmm...Cheesecake Factory and Trader Joe's. I've got to get to TJ's sometime soon. I miss their raspberry sticks.
So how long was the drive? I bet that is a really pretty area. I like the idea of you being closer to Ohio, too! ;)
I actually have quite a few relatives that live in virginia beach- mostly b/c of the military. We visited once and it was very nice.
Alisa- you never had cheesecake factory cheesecake?
I'm glad the baby is doing well :)
I am glad you had a good trip! 7 hours is definitely a long drive! I have never eaten at Cheesecake Factory, isn't the wait always really long?
Very glad to hear the baby is doing well!
If any of you like apple pie, get the Dutch apple cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. It is to die for. And the key lime cheesecake. And the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. And any of the cheesecakes made out of chocolate.
the ones with peanut butter and chocolate are super yummy too!
and yes, Beth, the wait is usually ridiculous! But all of the portions are HUGE and the menu is crazy big too!
