Weekend Visit

Wednesday night, Rob's mom flew in for a long weekend visit.  We haven't seen Tia since our wedding.  Almost a year!  We were excited to have her stay with us.  

Thursday (I had to work) Rob was able to get off work really early.  Rob and Tia went to the NEX (that's Navy Exchange for you non-Navy folks) and then headed to the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment.  Edgar Cayce was known as a sleeping prophet.  He gave psychic readings to thousands of people, while in an unconscious state.  Tia has wanted to visit this institute for many years, so she was very excited to finally check it out.  

Friday, Rob took off work (FINALLY, a long needed break) and I was able to get off work a little early.  We had lunch downtown and then took a tour of the local zoo.  Below are pictures from the zoo.

We finished the day off with a movie and dinner.  We went to see "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.  It was a pretty good movie.  I actually heard Rob laugh a couple of times.  I MIGHT have seen a tear in his eye.

Saturday, Rob had to go into work for a little while so Tia and I went to the nail salon and got pedicures.  We both picked different shades of pink.  The pedicure was very relaxing.  When Rob got home, we went to the aquarium.  The aquarium has an IMAX theater.  We were able to watch a 3D movie called "Under the Sea".  It was really good!  All the children kept reaching up trying to grab the fish in the movie, it was pretty funny.  Below are pictures from the Aquarium.

Sunday, we went to Colonial Williamsburg.  It was a very nice day.  Low 80's and plenty of cloud cover.  We had a nice time walking around and watching the various reenactments.  There's so much to do there!

Tia's flight left tonight at 7:15.  We were sad to see her go, but we were very happy that she was able to come up for a visit.  Rob's leave has been approved for the first week in August.  We're finally coming home!  We are both very excited to see our families.  We can't wait to see everyone.
