This weekend was absolutely fantastic in the Slacker house. No work and all play. Lots of football, good food, and time spent with family and friends.
Date night on Friday was fantastic. We went to the Rail Stop in The Plains...a town about 15 miles west of it. It was a very quaint little place and the food was fantastic....especially my salad (warm spinach with sauteed mushrooms, smoked bacon, goat cheese & balsamic vinaigrette). After dinner, we came back home and had some more wine and chatted with my mom.
On Saturday, we woke up, dressed the girls in their finest UVA garb (courtesy of my friend Liz) and headed down to "the Orange Birginya" (what E calls Charlottesville) for the UVA/Georgia Tech game. We were a little behind schedule, so we weren't able to get to some of the tailgates that we had wanted to. But we did get to see my friends Jenn and Brian who were up from Texas, which was good. The girls were absolute troopers. It was blazing hot, and they really were well behaved. A did conk out for most of the third quarter and with about 7 minutes to go in the game, E wanted to leave. But, they both had a great time and we would definitely take them again.
Today, we woke up and made blueberry waffles for breakfast. Then, John took A to the Teets to grocery shop and I took E to get her haircut and to Target. We played in the afternoon and had a small celebration for A's birthday. My mom came back over and we cooked out, gave her presents and had cake. She was a little unsure about the cake thing until she had a taste and then she went whole hog. We got pictures, and I'll try to post them soon.
All in all...it was just a great weekend. I'm sad to see it come to an end.
