Virginia/Washington DC Trip

This was a whirlwind trip - fun, but exhausting! Here was the basic itinerary:
6 Aug - arrive at airport at 6:45pm - get car & bags and head to the Cates' house in Alexandria
7 Aug - pack up to drive to Freeman's in Manassas
8 Aug - pack up to drive to Va Beach hotel/meet the Farnham’s/late night w/HS friends
9 Aug - hang out at beach all day w/Farnham's & Chandley's/reunion dinner
10 Aug - leave hotel/Prince of Peace 11:00 service/tour Tom's old house/Meyer's for lunch with many old friends/drive to Fredericksburg to visit Kirk's/return to Freeman's house
11 Aug - hang out at Freeman's/stop by Holland's/return to Cates' house to spend the night
12 Aug - get up EARLY to reach an 8:35am departing flight from National Airport

Whew! It flew by really fast and there were some friends in the area we didn't get to visit because we couldn't squeeze it all in and the drives to and from the Beach on Friday night and Sunday afternoon were horrible traffic! We didn't get pictures at every stop with all of our friends, but here are some photos - first Tom's friends from the reunion:

The Torkelson & Farnham families at the hotel - the kids had a fun time together at the beach and they all went to sleep in one room with 2 babysitters while the adults went to the reunion dinner.

The Farnham's daughter is also named Catherine and she and Jonah are the same age and had a fun time together - here's the farewell hug!
