on the road: VA beach pt. 3

our final day...

Williamsburg & a night in

not pictured is the most hilarious moment that happened while we were here: a "solider" invited the guys to fight in the war & assured Larissa she'll get some money every month if G doesn't return. Of course she's his wife because they are the same skin color..of course! We all laughed so much, me almost hysterically but I didn't want to embarrass the guy more than he already was, red faced & all!

cooking with sparkling cider feels as fancy as it looks & I might just make it commonplace at home..

so enchanted with this gorgeous girl! 

we hope to see you again Virginia Beach!

Let's play by the sea

After dancing to one too many Brittany, Brazilian Funk(ie), & Michael Jackson songs on New Years Eve, the first of January was spent sleeping in, going to the beach, eating yummy sea food, checking out Norfolk & watching movies. As you'll see in a moment most of these pictures from our day are from the beach because it was a gorgeous in the 50 degree day - but it was a blast going around town checking out where God has placed our friends & also continuing to think, what if one day we'd all live in the same state again. Figures are crossed for sure.

We are so thankful to have Julie & Dre as friends for so many years. Love you guys, near & far.

 

1 pound of shrimp & 1 pound of crab. How he almost ate the entire thing I have no idea!

Goodnight Norfolk.

on the road: VA beach pt. 1

A couple months ago, a grand idea came to mind! Let's spend New Years with Julie & Dre in Virginia Beach I thought to myself, called Julie, & the excitement began! Well, who knew that on the last day of 2013, G & I would be driving to VA with our sisters and a giraffe named Todd to meet Julie, Dre, Gui (aka G-bear) & a puppy named Tramp.

If I didn't say we brought in the New Year laughing & having a good time together it would be a lie because it was, as G-bear would say, perfect! Here are a few photos from our drive & bringing in the new year together!

I loved every minute of it! Especially the dancing "on the table"

Someone (^^^) was already preparing himself to conquer 2014!

Dre was a little too tired to open his eyes for this one!

pop, fizz, click!

cheers to 2014!

love, t Olive
