Barns

Another long day comes to a close. Today we visited Coomber Barn in Herndon. Its a renovated dairy farm from the 1900's that was transformed into a dance hall in the 1940's. Rustic charm is how it was described. Mike and I felt that perhaps the charm was more neglect and unimproved than charm- But not to discount it from list-- it is an affordable option that with right candle light and table clothes could actually be a delightful setting for a wedding.
Since we were in the neighborhood we swung by and visited Toni and Robin. Nick was working on a model car of some sort that Mike couldn't help take a look at. This was an impressive machine that just needed a few tweaks to get up and go... And of course Mike was itching to go to the hobby store to get those last parts needed. Thankfully we had other chores left in the day or I know he too would have had a play car by the end of the day...
Hey Hey-- it was the Budweiser shootout today--begining of NASCAR 70 laps of speed..... and like so many times before my driver Casey Mears showed promise only to end up in the middle of the pack... but hey infront of Mikes driver Clint Bowyer...
Christopher finally picked up his new glasses this weekend that he ordered months ago and Amanda had formals for her sorority-- tomorrow its laundry and vacuuming... oh boy.
