Virginia

This past weekend Scott, Brayden and I were able to visit Charlottesville, Va. My Mom and Annette offered to keep Julian, Madelyn and Kalen. With Scott's recent acceptance, we wanted to take this opportunity to see the University of Virginia and see what the town has to offer our family.

We all had a grand time. Virginia is gorgeous. The town of Charlottesville is very neat and clean. The downtown area is unique and a cool place to walk around. Charlottesville has every store you would hope a city to have. It even has a Whole Foods. Yes, we ate every meal there! The campus of UVA is breathtaking. It is very historical. Most of the buildings have columns. Virginia is full of mountains, farms and wide open spaces. We were in awe.
Scott spoiled Brayden and I by letting us stay at the elegant Boar's Head Inn. If you ever need to stay in Charlottesville, it would be a real treat.

Overall, we really like Charlottesville. The school is amazing, you can feel that just walking around it. We really have no negative responses, except it is four hours from family. For us, being close (an hour or two) to family is something we really value. I imagine, Scott could still go to UVA. We will wait, patiently, to hear back from the other three schools he applied to.

By the way, Julian, Madelyn and Kalen had such a great time with Grandma and Annette. Grandma sewed some really neat knight, king, queen and princess costumes for them all.

After a weekend away, we are glad to be home here in Boone.
