We drove up to Virginia over Spring Break to visit Tom & Jan, affectionately also known as Pappi & JanP. What a wonderful trip it was! We got to stay with some friends of theirs on the way up in Nashville. They had 2 chickens they keep for eggs so we got to pet and feed them too. It was a nice opener to our week. Once in Virginia the weather was perfect the first 2 days - warm and sunny. Their backyard opens up to tree filled beauty and a train that passes on occasion. We spent a good part of the first day out there. The second day we got to drive to the farm in Appomattox where Joel's Aunt & Uncle still live. There we got to hold 11 day old puppies - so new their eyes had yet to open. Phil let all of us have a turn driving the John Deere - with his help, of course. There was a smaller tractor that Jon got to drive all himself too. Which he did for at least an hour - he was in boy heaven. Maurine had a lunch for us and graciously opened her home up and showed us around the farm. It was a really special day. We also got to see Anna & Adriane the last night we were there. Adriane made a birthday cake for all 3 kiddos so they could celebrate with them in person. We are so very glad we made the trek up it was truly a wonderful visit!
