For all of your special occasion transportation needs . . . Wahooptie.
Saturday morning we took the camera with us on a hot and steamy 8-mile run through grounds. I thought we were going to melt - but we lived to tell the story. (Above) My home away from home while at U.Va.
Last weekend we headed down to Charlottesville, VA. Sadly, the hectic pace of graduate school for the last two years prevented me from my usual frequency of visits to my alma mater to relive my glory days . . . so I was pretty excited. We were there to celebrate Brie's Bat Mitzvah, which involved a few great parties, but we also had a lot of unscheduled time, and we took advantage of that.
I thought this was a cool pic. The curvy walls to my left enclose the Serpentine Gardens. Straight ahead is The Rotunda at the top of The Lawn. All bow to Mr. Jefferson.
Jody - "Blah blah blah Mr. Jefferson. Blah blah blah Grounds. When I was a first year blah blah blah." On our way to Edgar Allen Poe's room on The Range.
JAS kissing Homer's butt, as is ritual when streaking The Lawn. Obviously I didn't streak this morning but maybe I did a few years ago . . .
JAS and CDW hot and sweaty on The Lawn.
I had forgotten this about C'ville - the cabs all have these funny slogans and mottoes painted on their trunks.
CDW enjoys an Archer as a big storm rolls over the Blue Ridge Mountains and into the Ville. We were in C'ville less than 48 hours, and managed to have Arch's frozen yogurt twice!
And we continue to eat our way through C'ville with next stop Bodo's Bagels. Bodo's makes the best bagels EVER. This Bodo's is located on The Corner in C'ville (The Corner is the actual name of a little district of shops, restaurants and bars right across the street from Grounds). For the entirety of my college experience the sign here said "Opening Soon." It said opening soon when I visited U.Va. as a high school senior. It said opening soon a year after I graduated. It finally opened a few years after I graduated. I guess that "soon" can be a relative term.
Schroeder family - you know you love St. Maartens! CDW and I split a yummy cheese turkey burger and cheese fries. Heaven! My very fave bar/restaurant hangout in Cville.
There was a photo booth at the Bat Mitzvah party. Fun!
