East Coast

I am back in the states this week for work, and was lucky to fly in a couple days early to see friends, do a little family shopping, and enjoy the sights of springtime. I drove by our house in Virginia, and saw all the new construction in the neighborhood. A lot of the woods are now gone and new homes are popping up, and it will look nice when it is all done. And the best part is this new trail that will be several miles long, that is very close to our backyard!

I couldn't resist a visit to Wegmans and eating a fresh lunch. It was sensory overload to walk through the store. So much variety and choices compared to where we live.

And I made it to Manassas Battlefield, one of our family's favorite spots in VA, right in time to catch a beautiful sunset.

Loving all of the beautiful pink flowers in bloom!

I got to visit with our good family friends, the Kerns. Their girls are now little ladies and growing up so fast. We had a fun afternoon together, and it was nice to re-connect with the girls. They are now a elementary, middle, and high schooler!

On my birthday, I got to spend the day with my best friend Marissa, and her sweet son Henry. We had a great time visiting Ellicot City, MD. We had a nice lunch outside, visited the train museum, walked through shops, and took a hike by the river.

Is this little boy cute or what! It will be so much fun to get our boys together in a couple of months!

Marissa is a wonderful mom, and Henry is quite in love :).

My birthday coconut snowball.

We said our goodbyes for now and then they drove home...don't worry, Henry has a car seat in the back...

Feeling thankful for this weekend of good friends, springtime, and enjoying the little things :).
