In June 2006, Kevin and I took a day off and traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just us. Somewhere near Mabry’s Mill, we found this stone church and stopped.
We’d been in New York for a few days already and were rich with musical experiences. We’d been awed by the phenomenal Pat Martino the night before at the Iridium. We’d taken the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tour at the (now-closed) Soho annex (with the awesome John Lennon exhibit). We’d bought Kevin’s Les [...]

One of the many things we did on our 2008 New York trip was visit the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. Unfortunately, the interior of the building was under construction at the time, but the gardens were amazing in themselves. This statue, called Peace Fountain, depicts St. Michael the Archangel in the process [...]
Our third NYC trip together, July 2007, was the year we first visited the Shanghai Cafe in Chinatown. As you can see by Kevin’s perfect expression above, some of the food’s a little hot. :P Sure, none of the people who work there speak much English; they only bring you a fork if you ask [...]
As you can see, I was very pregnant by the time our second trip to NYC rolled around. Just two months later, our Atticus was born. :) The picture’s bad, taken with a cell phone, and recaptured by my Droid tonight from a print. (What happened to those files?!) Here are some things we remember [...]
This year marks the first in many that we won’t be spending the end of July in New York City. Usually, we save up all year long to take a few days alone, Kevin and I, exploring the city. This year, however, all savings went toward a downpayment on our new home. Totally worth it, [...]
If I saw this old stone entrance in any other city, I’d be wowed. Look at those columns! Worn down, yes, and the metal rails aren’t that attractive, but still… Here in my hometown, however, I usually just walk right by, if I’m even over in that part of downtown. How many other things around [...]
July 2006. I was very pregnant with Atticus, who was born in September of that year. Ryan, Lucas, and I rode down 86 into North Carolina, past Yanceyville, where Kevin was working in the prison, to Shangri-La. Lucas was almost two years old; Ryan was 13. It was a pretty fun, but hot, afternoon, if [...]
We headed to Dan Daniel Memorial Park today to enjoy the southern (and mostly shaded) end of the Riverwalk Trail. What an awesome way to spend the good part of a day! It’s definitely the best thing Danville ever did!! When I asked them about their favorite part of the day, both Lucas and Atticus [...]
