Jason and Kristy: June 2010

My first stay and grandma and grandpa's

My parents kept Flash for the night while we went to the Homestead. Flash was a good boy and had a great time. He helped my dad wash the cars and he snored a lot too.

Flash helping.

What a spoiled dog!!!! He has a chair at their house too.

I think after this weekend Flash was tired of traveling. We have an old recliner in our basement that is "Flash's chair". When we got home he actually crawled up in his chair and fell asleep like this. He looks like such a little old man. He looks like he's had a rough day!

The Homestead

Jason and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary this past weekend. We chose to go a week early to celebrate because we were going to the Homestead in VA. Since our anniversary is father's day weekend he resort was booked, so we decided to do an early celebration. Well...we will probably just celebrate twice.

Richard Lasher, the guy who made our wedding cake made us a fresh topper for our anniversary that was the exact same flavors as our actual wedding cake. I've been looking forward to this cake since we finished the real one.

Jason and I ate a fabulous dinner at the Homestead Resort.

The Homestead is in Hot Springs, VA....literally in the middle of nowhere. It feels like you're going to the end of the universe. Although it's not that far away, there is very little civilization on the way. The Homestead is a resort that was built in the 1700's and is owned by the same company as the Hotel Del Coronado. There is so much to do and it is beautiful.

The large balcony with the pillars is the outside view of our room. We got a killer upgrade since it was our anniversary.

Cheese and wine on our balcony.

The ballroom.

Outdoor pool.

The spa gardens.

The octagon spa pool. One thing that is really interesting about the Homestead is that the entire town sits on Hot Springs, hence the name. So, all of the water, rivers, creeks, flow at 100 degrees year round, even in the snow. The hot springs are a big part of the spa there.

The back of the hotel.

Golf clubhouse.

Trip to FL for Wesley's Graduation

We went to FL for Wesley's graduation. I can't believe little Wes is growing up:) We had a great time and we even got to cart our little pup to see Jason's family. He was a great traveler and loved being around everyone. We had such a great time hanging out with the fam.

Grandma F, Wes, and Flash

Jason and Grandma F

The girls with Grandma F. We were so excited to celebrate her birthday with her!!!

Ummmm I think this is Nala, but it could be Cassie. I can't tell unless I see them in person.

I feel as though Kevin should get his own picture here as kind of a tribute. He survived a weekend with ALL of the Truebloods. That's quite the accomplishment. He's ok in my book:)
