Northern Virginia, Avery, and Lake George

Thursday evening I headed up to NOVA to have dinner with Katie, Ashley, Kayla, and Stina. I'm so glad you guys could meet me =) We went to T.G.I. Friday's at Tysons. I was really excited about my chicken parmesan sliders, but they brought me cheeseburger sliders instead. When I didn't get my meal until everyone else was almost done eating, I didn't even get a discount! But, since I am non-confrontational, I didn't say anything. I loved seeing the girls and definitely want to make a DC trip sometime soon. (And everyone is always welcome in nyc!)
This week has been crazy with trying to get everything done before I move. I have an extremely long to-do list ranging from going to DMV to switch my license plates (to keep NYANKS2 on the jeep) to getting a head start on Christmas presents (Rach yours is wrapped and on my shelf!).
In between all the craziness I got to spend some time with Mary Grace...she is moving to North Carolina to be an RUF intern at Davidson. I know she will be awesome =). Mom and I have also babysat Avery a few times to allow Sarah to get some things done and have a break. Vinny and Sarah are such awesome parents. You would never know it is their first time. Mom and I have also been trying to get Avery to take a bottle, extremely unsuccessfully. She knows what she wants! Here is a short video of a Michael Jackson impression. Hopefully later I can capture "baby got back" and "thriller" on video if I can sneak it in without Vinny seeing.




Last week at Lage George was awesome. We renteda boat from our favorite marina and got up before sunrise four days in a row to fish all day. Although the fising was not as great as usual, we still managed to catch enough for a fish fry for 7 people with catfish, small mouth bass, rock bass, and blue gills. Plus, we had a new addition to our trip this year...As an early birthday present, Mom and got dad a Fish TV. There is a camera that looks like a fish attached to a wire so you can literally watch all the fish. It was amazing! The fish actually swam right up to it and once we saw a fish take the bait on dad's pole. So cool. In this picture I am holding a rock bass. I will put more pictures up on facebook with other (bigger!) fish.
