Sunday was Rob's birthday. So we got all dressed up, and Rob and his girls went to brunch with his mom and step dad. While we were there, we ran into the world's strongest man (Phil Pfister) from a few years ago. After a fun brunch as Jes's nanny, Jes and I were off to run errands and get ready for the party later that day. Went shopping, and then headed over to Rob's dad's house for a cookout and lawn games party! Had a good time playing some Baggo and some Ladderball. Had some good food. :) Then we just hung out at Jes and Rob's and played some more games.
Monday was the day I had to head back to Virginia, but before the drive, we squeezed in a kayak trip on the Elk River. It was great! Jes and I tried out some rapids in the kayaks while the boys rowed behind us. Then, it was time to say goodbye ( sigh) and drive back. Got back to Virginia just in time to do laundry and repack for the next trip.
Worked 1/2 a day and then headed to Silver Spring, MD to the NOAA headquarters for the NERRS Strategic Committee. Got to stay in the Hilton (yay for comfy comfy beds) and had two pretty productive days of meetings. Interesting to see more about how the NERRS system works and work with some folks I normally wouldn't have the chance to. Had a late evening drive back to Williamsburg last night b/c Friday was a big day at work.
Saved a turtle crossing the parkway this morning, had a field trip (saved a sea star from the claws of a spider crab), and started to get ready for Marine Science Day. Big day tomorrow...and then Sunday.....it's time to crash!!!! :)
