Mom & Dad Visit Norfolk

We've been busy around here! I've got so many things to blog and tell you about. A few little projects, a few big projects and lots of visitors.

Let's back track a bit. For the 4th of July and the weekend after, my parents came to visit. It is there second trip to Virginia, their first being in 2008 when we lived here before. It was there first visit to our new house though. I had to work a few half days while they were here, but Glenn had a 4 1/2 day weekend so he kept them busy entertained!

We spent the actual 4th with our friends, Chris and Gizelle, and her family. We had some some bbq and then headed downtown to watch the fireworks at town point park. There was a breeze by the water so we got a little reprieve from the crazy heatwave we had that weekend. We were having flashback to their trip to Japan last July when it was equally as hot.

We watched a lot of Wimbledon tennis, checked out the zoo (have I mentioned we can hear the elephants from our backyard in the evening and at night? Must be dinner time. The zoo is crazy close to our house.)

We mostly just relaxed and enjoyed each others company. Oh, I suppose I did have one house project on my Daddy-Do list. He and Glenn installed a utility sink in the basement. I can't wait to wash my paint brushes in this guy instead of the kitchen sink!

Thank you for the house-warming present, Mom and Dad! Also, thanks for the plumbing lesson. Glenn is feeling confident to tackle the installation of a double vanity in the master bedroom now! That will be wonderful to have in the future!

It was nice to have them in town for a bit. I can't wait for them to come back in the fall when it won't be so hot and we can see more of the area. Miss you!
