Virginia Trip

I've been a bit MIA the last few weeks. I know you've all been heartbroken, and waiting with baited breath by the computer for my blogging updates!

Oh. You didn't notice? Hmmm.

Anywho.

Last weekend, Brandon and I took a little road trip to Virginia! We left Saturday morning, and drove straight to St. Louis, where we stopped for a bit to go to Six Flags. We have season passes that expire at the end of this month, and even though St. Louis is a few hours out of the way, we couldn't resist!

I was so excited! You should know how much I love amusement parks. It's a lot. Mostly because I love roller coasters.

We rode The Boss, aka the best roller coaster I've ever been on in my life. It's over a mile long, and real fast.

No, I did not take this video, I was too busy screaming my brains out.

After spending a few hours in the park, it started to get cold, so we headed out to find some dinner. 

We followed Brandon's hunch and stopped at a random little Chinese restaurant called Sesame. And it was fabulous. It was an actual Chinese restaurant, not takeout, not buffet. And I've never been happier to eat in my life.

That hot and sour soup made me weep with joy.

After stuffing ourselves to the brim, we hopped back in the car and drove to Louisville, KY to stop for the night. We stayed in the crappiest hotel on the planet, and took off again early the next morning and drove all day till we hit Virginia! 

PS If you want to admire our beautiful country, take a drive through Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Virginia. Gorgeous! At one point we stopped at a rest area, and found a breathtaking scenic overlook.

We spent a day in Virginia, and drove home! Brandon and I haven't been away from the kids for more than a day or two since we had them, so it was kind of a nice break! But at the same time, I missed these babies so much!
