Trip to Virginia

On May 26, we flew to Virginia to visit with Susan, Peter, Nick, and Caroline.
The primary purpose of this trip was to be in town for Peter's promotion to Colonel.



Of course, it was really great to have some time with our grandkids, Nick and Caroline. Nick will turn 14 this month and Caroline will be 10 in July. They are growing so fast. Nick loves it that he is finally taller than I am.

On Thursday and Friday evenings, Susan prepared dinner for all of us. There were about 15 of us, including all of Pete's family, Barb and me , and Susan's dad and Karen. Susan and Pete had been saving the wine that they purchased in Italy for a special occasion. So they brought out all of the bottles for us to sample.




Nick showed us his report on photography that will be presenting in school. He took some excellent photos. He has a keen eye for the unusual. Very impressive.


One evening a poker game was started. Nick really dressed for the game.




On Friday, we all cleaned up very nicely to go to the promotion ceremony.
