foggy trees on skyline drive

On my birthday (after a breakfast of gingerbread waffles at Killahevlin), we hopped in the car and headed down Skyline Drive. It was so foggy that it reminded me of being in Washington state.

christmas at killahevlin bed + breakfast

For my birthday, we spent the weekend at the Killahevlin Bed + Breakfast in Front Royal, Virginia. Yes, I know, another picture of a Christmas tree, but the holiday decorations at the B+B were so beautiful that I couldn't help myself. The B+B also had an Irish pub with complimentary beer that you could serve yourself straight out of the tap.

I drove by this everyday on my way home from work. I'll certainly miss seeing this when I start commuting to ugly ol' Fairfax.

making my exit

Tomorrow is my last day at my job. Also - does anyone look good in a hard hat? Answer: No! Everyone looks like a dork.

Steroids this time. These didn't work either.

on a date

First we saw Control at the E Street Cinema, then we had a fancy dinner at Butterfield 9. (I had ostrich, Larry had elk. Yum!) A perfect and much needed date night!
