Our North Carolina Trip

We had the pleasure of visiting Julia and visiting Mom visiting Julia in Brevard, North Carolina where Julia is at music camp. Here are a few pics of our trip.

Abe was, as always, a great traveler.
Julia's group sounded really great!
While Julia practiced, we went with Mom to a wildlife conservatory. Abe loved feeding those fish!

Here's Abe at the French Broad Cafe. This is for everyone who thinks Abe's still hairless!
Post sandwich at the French Broad (Julia's favorite restaurant)

Abe and Julia- it wasn't long till they were very comfortable together!
Abe and his lovely Grandmama.
Mom provided this lovely cabin for us! We were all so enchanted by it--especially the deck with the bug screen. It was perfect weather all weekend! Thanks for the most wonderful trip, Mom! It was sure great to see you and Julia!
Here's a picture of our lovely drive back.This is Andrew struggling to finish up our milk and lots of cereal.

Abe and Catherine missed each other on the weekend and were glad to be playing and reading together again.
This is a bonus picture. It's not from this trip. It's a nice little walk we took recently by the Potomac.

July 4!



Here's our belated July 4 weekend video. We had a great time BBQing with the wonderful Evans fam, hanging out at the Folklife Festival at the National Mall, going to the Capitol Fourth dress rehearsal (we liked how Aretha Franklin just walked out in her shades with some kind of shopping bags she dropped to sing the national anthem) with the Gleaves Fam, and watching fireworks shot off from the floating docks over Lake Thoreau in Reston. Let the good times roll!
