Life's a Beach... or not...

We had plans to go to the beach for the day on Saturday, but they fell through. Luckily, i had already made back up plans to surprise Ashley. On the downside, when i told her to wear jeans she put on capri jeans, but on the upside, i brought three pairs of jeans just in case she did that and she now knows to follow my instructions on surprise outings more carefully. ;-)

We went ice skating! It was tons of fun. i hadn't been since college with PCM and before that was middle school. i think it had been since childhood for Ashley. When we first got out there, we looked like 5 year olds. i got my footing after the first 10 or 15 minutes and we skated around and had fun for a couple of hours. We got some Hokie mom on the side with the same camera as Ashley to take a few pictures of us together.

Sunday, i headed over to a church i am helping this summer to sit in on their mission committee meeting. Was really helpful to have Ashley there to talk about Habitat locally and what they could plug into.

Then we broke out our bikes for our first ride and headed over to the CVS. It has come to my attention that not everyone knows what CVS is. It's a drugstore chain that stretches from NY to Florida and i don't know how far west, but obviously not as far as Nebraska or Kansas. It's like Eckerds or Walgreens. And if you don't have those, think McDonald's or Wendy's, yeah? Groovy.
