Virginia is for Lovers

At the end of March, Noah and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Virginia for a week's vacation. We basically spent the whole week on a historical tour of the state, becoming much more acquainted with the founding of our nation. It was an interesting, eye-opening, fun-filled week together. Enjoy the pictures below...

I saw this written in a pregnancy magazine and got a good laugh out of it. Any woman who has been pregnant will be able to appreciate the humor (and truth!). :)
