Cousin Bear and Tha's 65th

Lilly and I left Arizona for Virginia since I had a W&M Board meeting and it was Tha's 65th birthday! Auntie Jubs and Cousin Bear came out for the long weekend too! Although I had every intention of seeing our NoVA friends, I only got to see Abbey with whom I stayed in Willliamsburg and Amy and Scott in Richmond. We did eat at Cafe Caturra - think upscale Panera + winebar. I was interested in eating there since Tim (Abbey's fiance) is their real estate developer.

Even though I was in Williamsburg for Charter Day weekend, I did not attend Charter Day or the Alumni Medallion Ceremony. William and Mary turned 318 years old! The Charter Day speaker was Eric Cantor the House Majority Leader and WM law grad '88. Apparently I missed out on seeing Colin Powell on Saturday morning at the Alumni Medallion Ceremony where his son, Michael Powell '85, was one of five honored alums.

Saturday evening back in NoVA we attempted to go Chuck E. Cheese, but the place was a zoo and had a line out the door. It was more packed than any bar I've ever been too. So we had Five Guys instead and it was yummy as always. And now, Grand Forks has a Five Guys! It officially opened yesterday at 11am.

Sunday we celebrated Tha's 65th birthday with family and delicious Thai food. Pe-Nib even made 2 huge pitchers of Thai Iced Tea for us! There was lots of loving on Bear and Lilly and the birthday boy.

Lilly loves her little cousin. She'd wake up every morning and look for "baby" so she could help Ba-Jubs change his diaper. She was very good at changing diapers. Bear is the most serene baby ever. Not once did he ever cry! He's such a handsome little hunk. Lilly would attempt to hold him and then say, "too heavy". She did pretend to be a horse for him. (video below). Per usual she was Auntie Bubs' sidekick and a snuggle bunny with Auntie CC. All in all it was good visit with the family!
