the dance company that i teach for was asked to dance at the moscow country street fair this weekend. we lucked out with great weather this weekend which was awesome for the dancers! on friday evening our girls danced down the street for the parade, and then on saturday afternoon they performed a few of their dances for the recital at the food court tents. it was fun and they did a great job!
we enjoyed our quick getaway to chincoteague and assateague islands (see here and here).
we were lucky that our hotel had free breakfast, so we had something to eat both mornings before heading out of the hotel. it was especially nice to be able to eat out on our balcony!
the seafood sure was fresh and oh so good this weekend in chincoteague. here are some of the yummy things we ate . . .
love, laurie
we enjoyed our time in chincoteague and assateague. we were very happy to be able to see the beach and the ocean each day. the weather was by far the nicest on friday. we were able to enjoy the warmth, walk the beach, and dip our feet in the water. saturday was much cooler and very windy so we barely got wet but still enjoyed the sand. sunday was so damp and rainy that we just enjoyed it from the car!
love, laurie
our schedules have been crazy, and looking at the calendar we couldn't find any time to get away to take a vacation this summer. the only span of time we had available was friday through sunday this past weekend, which worked out perfectly since sunday was our 11 year wedding anniversary.
we knew we couldn't travel too far for a weekend getaway, so we spent a lot of time trying to think of where we could go. ryan came up with the idea of taking a road trip to virginia (virginia is for lovers after all) to visit chincoteague island and assateague island.
ryan has been to chincoteague/assateague many times for family vacations, but i had never been there before. we were looking forward to escaping for a few days, seeing the ocean, and seeing the famous wild horses.
in chincoteague, we stayed right on the bay (with such a great view from our hotel room), ate lots of great seafood, and explored the historic district of the town. we drove to assateague each day to see the wildlife refuge, admire the wild horses, enjoy the beach, and see the famous lighthouse.
overall, it was a nice little anniversary weekend getaway and we're grateful that the weather mostly cooperated with us. a few photos that i snapped on my phone . . .

super proud of this guy and excited for him as he starts his first day of work today in his new job as technical director / production manager for the music, theatre, and dance department at marywood university! (i just had to snap a "first day of school" photo of him on his way out the door today!) way to go, ryan, have a great day!
love, laurie
