We're listening to the sound of roaring thunder and watching flashes of lightening outside...we are definitely not in San Diego! Daniel and I have been having a fantastic time visiting my Dad, step mom, and sisters out in North Carolina. They live on the far east side, very close to Virginia. Sometimes I get so confused as to which state we are in when we go places.

Tuesday was a very relaxing day, and Ashley's birthday! It is crazy to think we are actually relaxing..I'm relaxing! We swam a little, watched some TV, and then went and got pedicures. It feels crazy not having an agenda like we did in D.C., and it really feels like vacation. Our family lives in a very quiet neighborhood filled with adorable houses and a ton of GREENERY!
Wednesday we went to none other than Busch Gardens in VA! It was hot and humid, but it didn't stop us from having a blast. The roller coasters were a ton of fun, especially the Griffin...it leaves you hanging for a good 6 seconds looking at your ultimate doom. I was a little bit of a wimp and made us sit in the back so I didn't get as freaked out...but afterward I was ready to go again!

Today we went to Kitty Hawk and saw where the first flight took place. This was a truly fun experience for both of us...I took an aeronautic class in college that got me interested in the history of flight and Daniel loves flying. Plus, we knew so much already having just been to the Air & Space Museum in D.C. They have everything all laid out, the distances for all four flights, and also a replica of the Wright plane used in 1903.

Tonight, I tried to prove some cooking skills and made Chicken Parmesan for everyone. The taste test proved that it was excellent and it even got the Harrington stamp of approval!
