Virginia trip

We've been out of town this week visiting Debbie's Dad and (step)Mom in Waynesboro, VA. Tasha and Matt came up, too. Dick and Ingrid treated us to tix to Williamsburg, so Wednesday we went there, then went back on Thursday and went to Jamestown, Yorktown, and back to Williamsburg. Lots and lots of history...of course, you can't be in VA at all without running all over something historic.
Yesterday (Friday) was mostly 'down time' resting up from going across the state the previous two days, but we managed to do a little work in Ingrid's flower gardens. Today was another mostly rest day, except we took Tasha and Matt to see "UP" which I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't yet seen it. I caught a lot more of the inside jokes this time--first time they just went by too fast. It's a really sweet movie. One example of the jokes I missed first time I saw the flick...near the end of the movie, the old man who's the main focus of the story, the 'wilderness explorer' (boy scout) who's his companion, and the talking dog they rescue are all sitting on the curb outside an ice cream stand, playing a game the boy used to play with his Dad...counting cars. When the boy and his Dad used to do it, the boy would count red cars, the Dad counted blue cars, and whoever got the most won. This time the boy counts the red cars, the old man counts the blue cars, but the dog butts in with "Gray one!" (In fairness to Matt, he was the one who caught and explained this joke...if you didn't get it, look up 'dog vision' on Wikipedia or Google).
Tomorrow we'll celebrate Father's Day with Dick, and head on to the Southern Baptist Convention in Louisville on Monday. The actual meeting is Tues/Wed, and we head home Thursday.
