Scenes from the Homefront

Hello again from Charlotte! Rob and I got here on Sunday afternoon and have been enjoying some time relaxing with his parents. Yesterday we took a three hour hike up an awesome peak and have literally been doing nothing since then. Since quitting my job last week, I have been unable to sleep in past 7:30 each morning, but at least it's giving me time to work on my paper before our day really starts.

We'll be here until Wednesday, then heading up to Charlottesville for a night before I take Rob to DC to catch his flight to China on Friday. Then I guess things will start to settle down for a bit. Or, at least, I won't be driving quite so much.

Until then, here are some snapshots from our day at my parents' house. We drank wine and ate even more tuna and sat outside, enjoying the view. It is wonderful to be at the lake when everyone is home. Summer is so close I can taste it.
