Yes, I'm alive...

I have so much to catch up that I don't even know where to begin. I think I will just post a bunch of pictures and go from there.

My sister came to visit us two weeks ago and we had so much fun. She arrived LATE Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. We started Wednesday off by hitting my fav store H&M. Then pretty much just showed her around my local town.

Thursday: We hit the big mall here called Fair Oaks then went out to Cheesecake Factory, YUMMY!!!

Friday: We spent most of the day home because Bre came home from school sick. But my loving husband got off work early so she and I could go shopping at the outlet mall (Leesburg Outlets). Do you see a pattern forming already? When we get together, we shop!!!

Saturday: We took a family trip down to Williamsburg; we got there pretty late in the afternoon, that we just walked around old town Williamsburg and that was awesome. We will go back this summer with my dad when it is alive and active with crazy tourist.

Sunday: We went down to Jamestown settlement. Walked around the big museum that is there and down around the ships, kids loved it.

As we were coming home from Williamsburg on Sunday we kept passing all of these plantations so we figured we better pull over to one and take a look. It was a big house with lots of history, what else can I say, it's a house.

Monday: What a day, Justin again was kind enough to take work off that day so Tobi and I could go down to D.C without the kids. We were going to take the metro in, but missed our exit and before we knew it we were in D.C. Parked the car at Arlington Cemetery and did the tour there. We then got on a bus and started to do the D.C bus tour. We finally figured we got places faster by walking. We walked, walked and walked. Had so much fun!!!

We finished out tour, went back and got the car and then we drove more into D.C just so we could see the U2 3-D concert. AWESOME!!! We went to the 5:30 showing on a Monday and were the only two in the whole theater. We acted like dorks and no one was there to see us.

Tuesday: We went back to H&M and other stores so Tobi could finish her last minute shopping.

Wednesday: Took her back to the airport. It was so nice having her here

Now that she is gone, it has taken me a week just to get things back in order here at the Benson house, just so I can do it all over again next Tuesday when my brother Aaron comes in for a visit. So don't expect to here from me next week either.

P.S. I do have more pictures from Williamsbug, but they are on Justin's lap top, as soon as he transfers them over I will blog those too.

Here is what I look like now.
