We went to Virginia this weekend to take a break from the city. Saturday morning we packed up and got on our way. We drove in to Buena Vista around 1:00pm and dropped our stuff off at our good friends, the Gibbons. We then went up to our other friends the Jaques and let the kids play with Sydney, McKenna, and Natalie. Jared and Anna had so much fun playing with their old friends. Later that evening we went to watch a men's basketball game at SVU and then we went back to the Gibbons for dinner with the Drydens. Jared and Anna again had a great time playing with friends and the Gibbons' English bull dog Hobbes. Sunday we went to church and visited with some more friends. Monday Kevin found some old science professors and Jared, Anna, and I went to see the new institute building the church built next to campus. It was beautiful! I can't believe how much SVU has changed since 1998. We use to meet in the one room modular building, Landrum, for institute for years and we met in the Ballroom or Chandler Hall for church. Now they have their own building with several classrooms for institute and a chapel that will house all 5 student wards. As it turns out a picture of the institute building and the new dorm in the background is the only picture I took all weekend (oops)
The Kids did not want to leave, but life must go on and we started to drive back to Baltimore that afternoon. On the drive back Kevin and I decided that our second vehicle will need a DVD player or we will have to start sedating our kids on long drives. They did just fine, but tended to get on each others nerves and a little loud at times.
