Train Love...

Last night my mom and I headed to Vienna, VA to see Train in concert. I have loved this band for such a long time and when we heard they were coming to VA we bought tickets right away. The show was at Wolftrap and it was so amazing! Pat Monahan has an incredible voice and I love the way he dances around on stage. They played all of my favorites: Drops of Jupiter, Hey, Soul Sister, Superman, Meet Virginia, and Calling All Angels. It was such a great show and I had so much fun with my mama. In the 45 minutes it took us to get home we heard 4 Train songs on the radio. The next time Train comes to town I will definately be there. It was THAT good.
Here is a video I took from last night of them singing on of my favorites, Superman. The quality of the video looks really bad because I had to upload it from youtube which sucks because the original is actually really clear and crisp. Oh well...


Peace and Love,
Em

A Weekend Away...

This weekend we headed to Winchester, VA to visit my grandparents.
We weren't on the road for 2 minutes and we spotted this guy:
After about an hour and half on the road we stopped at our favorite country pie shop to pick up dessert. Seriously these pies are amazing. We ended up getting apple and chocolate peanut-butter silk. Yum :)


One quick stop to Sonic for hot fudge sundaes!

My aunt and uncle suprised us and showed up for dinner which was so much fun. Some chicken gone bad meant that we went out and got bar-b-que for dinner! It was my first time having ribs and they were so good! After dinner we sat around and talked, watched old home movies, and ended our night with the Ravens vs. Redskins game.

Sunday morning meant pie for breakfast :)

Wrapped up in my great-grandmother's quilt.
While Maddie wasn't looking Mel enjoyed her ice water.
Right before we left we headed downtown to the mall to walk around. Too bad almost everything was closed. We did spend some time in a cute little bookstore.
I drove home and then read for the rest of the night. I've got a busy week ahead of me.

Peace and Love,
Em
