Here are a few pictures of the place we call home for two months.
Our first weekend outing was to the campus of Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista. It is a historic hotel and women's college that has been educating LDS students for about 12 years. My dad sang at the dedication service in 1996. Jared look part in an LDS conference on religious freedom. We are learning that anything that has to do with the constitution is hot in this area. I love the beautiful buildings and scenery around the campus. and the boys and I enjoyed exploring while Jared went to a meetings.This is an old civil war home owned by a family in our ward. It is thouroughly modernized now with a private outdoor pool.... They also have horses for training and therapeutic riding. I love the mix of history and agriculture.
In Richmond last weekend, we visited my family's old house (1994-96) and had a picnic at the local park. We visited the downtown sites and walked across the bridge to Belle Isle.
The boys and I find adventures to keep us happy during the weekdays like church playgroups, storytime at the library, a trolley ride downtown, etc. We miss our friends the Hepworths who started the Virginia experience with us but finished early.
The boys love nature walks in the many forested parks --especially with their dad.
