Six Flags, Baltimore, MD

We went to the Dogwood Festival,Thursday, in Charlottesville. They had fair rides and fireworks for the celebration. Alexis is also enjoying there being three amusement parks within three hours of our house. She's a complete thrill seeker. Saturday we went to Six Flags. They have a roller coaster that takes you 20 stories high, with a 200-foot plunge to the ground, traveling at 75 mph, it was so much fun. It took me a while to catch my breath after that one.

Alexis and Valerie tried the sky coaster. It takes you 165 feet up in the air and then ...

The National Zoo

The National Zoo is great and it's free. You've got to love the Smithsonians. China gave the US some pandas, it had been a nice day out and it was fun to watch them, munching on food, and rubbing up against trees. There was also a new baby gorilla, really cute.

Outer Banks, NC

This is the most beautiful beach we have ever been to.
They were so happy to be woken up to find their baskets in the morning. Look at how excited Alexis is!!!

We colored Easter Eggs.

Currituck light house.

Hey, Where's the water?

It was spring break and Easter weekend, so we had to check out the Outer Banks of NC. So beautiful. We had a blast. The water was a little cool, but that didn't stop Alexis, Maggie, and Anna from playing in the water. They spent hours in the water, while I got to relax on the beach, HEAVEN!!! We played in the sand, buried each other in the sand, went to an aquarium, a lighthouse, watched movies in the evening. The Easter bunny even surprised us Sunday. The best thing this, it's only 5 1/2 hours from where we live. I love living so close the the ocean.

Cupcakery

We watched conference at Kimberly's, in between sessions we walked down to the Cupcakery. These are the best cupcakes ever. They have one with Belgian chocolate, Mexican pudding, coconut, lemon curd, etc. So, YUMMY!!!

Cherry Blossom Festival

We went to the Cherry Blossom, so beautiful. The tidal basin was surrounded with blossoms on the trees. It was quite windy, so the blossoms started falling off the trees. It looked like it was snowing, it was absolutely breath taking.
