Touristy Kind Of Things

Written by Meg

A couple of weeks ago (okay lets get real, over a month ago – i’m really slow at posting things!), my inlaws came to visit.

We had a blast hanging out with them! We did the stereotypical DC tourism, but also did some more Virginia stuff like taking a nice long drive along Skyline drive with views of the stunning Shenandoah valley.

The rather sad thing, is that i think this is the first photo of chris and i together in like 8 months. Woah right? I guess we just end up waiting till family members are around till we actually get documented together! The last time we have a photo together was back home over Christmas! hehe oh well – at least the adorable kiddos are incredibly well documented!!

Thanks for coming to visit Grandma and Grandpa, we miss you already!

(ps. as a side note, people are always asking me how much of my wardrobe is comprised of my own designs, and i think these family photos are a good representation – about 3/4 my work, about 1/4 other stuff! )

Such sweet pictures of your sweet family! Love that you all went out to Skyline Drive – the green mountains of Virginia are literally one of my favorite things about VA. And I love that being in Warrenton means being not that far from them OR the city :).

Thanks Lauren!! Oh my goodness, we have been to skyline sooo many times. We’re kind of addicted! Honestly, apart from the adorableness of our little town (i’ve decided you and me own it hun) the thing that sold me on Warrenton was it’s proximity to the mountains and the city. It’s kind of perfect hey?

I was only there last summer visiting my American side of the family. Such a good holiday! I love how you captured the view in the background of your photos.

Oh goodness, at first I was like,”Does she see that a strange man is taking a picture of her little girl!?!?!?!?” Then I started reading and I was relieved to discover it was a grandpa LOL. The protective mommy gene, once activated is STRONG.

Lovely family and lovely scenery, lucky (or blessed rather) you.

Aw, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a pic of you two together! I must have missed the other ones! I’m so jealous you went to Skyline Drive – one of my favorite places in the world!

I just have to say that your little ones are pretty cute. My husband and I have the same problem with getting our picture together. I can’t remember the last time we did that.
