Charlottesville

We just got back from a fun weekend in Charlottesville and Staunton, VA.  Heather had a PT leadership conference and this was my weekend off so we decided to take advantage and take everyone (except Lincoln-sorry buddy) for a family trip.  It was a weekend of firsts for Jackson including his first trip to UVA:

chillin' on Thomas Jefferson's Lawn at The University

Jackson is wondering why we put him down on wet grass just to get a photo of the Rotunda
here's our boy sleeping in style in his pack n play.  We got to stay with an old friend Larry Mueller in his home which he calls "The Larriot" and Jackson made himself right at home...
It was also his first (and ours) chance to meet some ladies-  Susannah Byrd (Ross and Hannah's sweet little girl), Mary Bullock (Brady and Annie's third little babbuns), and Ann Elise Wilton (Mike and Christian's 2nd who we go to see right after her baptism).  It was also Jackson's first wine tasting as well.  We went to Barren Ridge Vineyards outside of Staunton and had a great time sampling some of their wine.  Jackson was a trooper and was calm and smiley the whole time despite the fact that mommy and daddy didn't share any wine.  All in all a great weekend!

  1. The family portrait on the steps of 214 seems to be missing. Next time, I guess.
