Wow, we let this thing go! So, here I am. Last month, I went out to visit Leisha in Virginia and we had a nice long weekend together. The first thing we did, like usual, was go out to eat. We found a little Thai place that was pretty good just outside of the Army Post. Then Leisha took me to her temporary home which is arguably nicer than where we REALLY live!
The next day, we headed out to Williamsburg, VA, which is kindof the birthplace of America. It's the first real settlement that actually stuck. We went through the historic town, where there were a lot of people dressed in period, crafting some of the things of the time. Leisha even got to play on a harpsichord that the carpenter had made.
Sunday, we lazied around and went to church and, on Monday, we hiked through the local forest to a historic Civil War battlefield. It was the site of the Petersburg siege. It was fun to get out and see what the land is like in the area--covered in tall stringy trees and full of wildlife. We saw a big group of deer (which Leisha has seen plenty more of since).
Afterward, Leisha took me back to Richmond, where we had lunch and walked around the capitol building before I flew back home. To sum it up, it was a fun trip and it was VERY nice to see one another, which we're planning on doing again very soon!
