Virginia Creeper Trail

On Saturday, August 27th (Oscar's Birthday!), Brad and I went with his parents and three other couples to ride the VA Creeper Trail from Whitetop (1) to Damascus (5). It was a grueling 17 mile bike ride.. all downhill. :)

I had never been on the trail before so Brad wanted me to have the experience before we move out west. I truly enjoyed it! We had great weather (though a little chilly at the start) and ice cream along the way. :)

Bridals

Well since I started this blog after the wedding, I never really posted any pictures from Bridals to the Honeymoon.

Lets start with some Bridals!

Happy Birthday to my Dad!

Love you so much Dad, thanks for everything you've done for us! It's been so great to be a short distance away while we are still here in North Carolina. We're thankful for the time we have been able to spend with you, especially up at Erie during the reunion!

Love,

Brad, Dani & Oscar (woof!)

Happy Belated Birthday, Oscar!

Yesterday, August 27th, our Oscar turned two years old! We didn't celebrate yesterday since we were riding the Virginia Creeper Trail (blog about that later). Tonight after dinner he was treated to a few licks of mint chocolate chip ice cream and the happy birthday song!


We all wish his sister, Sadie, a Happy 2nd Birthday as well!
