Skyline drive

Lexi and Cade flew in crazy early, like 4am. Now that I’m blogging, I realize I got it wrong. They didn’t fly out super early, they flew out at a normal time, but they did fly in early, at like 4am. We were heading to Charlottesville for thanksgiving, so we decided to pick the Finlayson’s up and head right down. But instead of picking them up right at 4, we picked them up more like 6. They were absolutely thrilled. 

We also threw in a short winding trip through Skyline Drive. Lexi went from thrilled to super thrilled. 

Skyline drive was pretty, but the colors were fading and the leaves were almost all gone. It was like, 20% of what I’d imagine it’s most beautiful. 

The sun was still coming up and it was really pretty. 

Horrible picture, but it’s life. 

It’s so fun having family close by! Charlottesville is about 3 hours away and it’s the cutest little town. Cousins bonding always got me like 😍.

We all took a nap as soon as we got there. Well, everyone but matt and the little girls. Ok, so just cade, Lexi, and I took naps. Matt’s the real mvp. He did take a nap after me. I’m not a total monster. 

We prepped t-day stuff and the girls discovered their affinity for Just Dance, and oh how we laughed and laughed watching them. It is seriously so fun. 

That evening we went and walked around the college where dan works. We checked out Edgar Allen Poe’s room. 

It’s a really pretty campus, or grounds, or whatever they are called (slow blogging probz).

After, we sent the boys to pick up pizza, and Chantell and I took the kiddies home. We had planned to play games but then we were like, yawn. Being old is fun. 😂
