We kicked off this past weekend with the Elizabeth River Run early Saturday morning, where Billy ran a great race (36:57 for 10K) and I ran/walked for a time faster than my previous ERR (in 2006 when I was in good shape :))), so it was great to start the weekend with a good workout. Because I ran in the race, we don't have any pictures and Jefferson didn't get to attend :( There are pictures online though, and we're bib #s 127 and 128.
After the race, we came home, relaxed for a bit, and then went to Lowe's to get supplies for our vegetable and herb garden. Billy built a 3 x 7 box to put the garden in, we dug up the grass, added some better soil, and planted tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers (the only possible success from my attempt at getting seedlings to grow earlier this spring), basil, and oregano. So, we're hoping to have some good fresh produce and herbs soon!
That night, we tested out our new firepit, which I'm sure we'll use a lot this summer!
Sunday, we headed to the C-ville area for camping at Misty Mountain with Pete, Mollie, and Bella, so that was fun. It was my first campground experience and my second time sleeping in a tent. We ate at Mellow Mushroom (love how C-ville has lots of dog-friendly restaurant patios...I wish Va Beach would be better about that!!), roasted hot dogs and made s'mores on our campsite fire, listened to live music from our campsite, and had fun people-watching with so many hardcore campers/RV-ers.
Monday, we were pretty tired when we got back home, so we cooked some hamburgers and enjoyed eating outside in our backyard and just hanging out before getting ready for the work week to start.
