Weekend Fun




It was a fun weekend.  Bailey and I headed to NC for the Revolve Tour with Jennifer, Morgan and Caroline. Back in VA, Mark ran the show which included skate night on Friday night for Syd and AJ, basketball games and a movie on Saturday for all three kids, and then a swim meet on Sunday for AJ.

Revolve was a great time - lots of concerts and some moving and funny speakers.  Natalie Grant's concert was the part I enjoyed most; her album Relentless was my favorite of 2008. She performed on Friday night and spoke on Saturday. Bailey enjoyed it all but really liked Group 1 Crew and Hawk Nelson who both performed on Saturday.

We had left home around noon on Friday, arrived in Greensboro around 4 and took a dip in the hotel pool before dinner. The conference ran 7-930, and we headed back to the same restaurant where we'd eaten dinner to enjoy some delicious dessert.  Bailey asked for a scoop of vanilla and received a bowl piled high. Dinner (and the rest of our trip) also included a great deal of texting.

Our sleep was mostly uneventful except for the part where Bailey yelled "Stop!" while she was sleeping and scared Jennifer right out of her bed.

After the conference ended at 4, we headed to Winston-Salem to Ellen's house where we once again went out for dinner and ice cream - this time with Ellen and Amy. We slept in, ate together at Panera for lunch, and drove back home.

Next year, Revolve is in Charlotte which is a bit longer drive.  We're still undecided - anyone care to go?
