Memorial Day Gathering

I tend to be inspired to update here on the web when I have pictures.  In order to have pictures I have to do something.  And have a camera.  Usually, I remember to do this when I am going to see kids' activities.  Chris had a nice tennis season, but I was generally unable to get to any of the matches. 
Corinne's out of school now after a relatively quiet semester, working the summer singing and dancing--I'll get to that later.

I had an awesome holiday weekend.  Kicked it off with a 165 mile trip into Virginia.  Not a family reunion--I haven't been able to get to one of those in a decade or more--but a Memorial Day party.  Felt a bit like a family reunion, only not quite so hot and more patriotic.  I have to admit, I initially resisted the urge to break out the camera, because I thought that showing up and taking a bunch of pictures of folks I haven't seen in a while might be intrusive and antisocial.  After all, I was there to visit and interact, I wasn't sightseeing.  So I ended up not really getting pictures of folks I haven't seen in a while.

I did get a few pics though, including the trek down to the (Shenandoah) river to the old power company dam, a side outing to the race track, and a traditional peanut toss :)
