Lots of driving...

Well, it's been a while since I last blogged...here are some pictures from the last few months in Georgia and my whirlwind trip around VA to see friends in DC and Newport News. More info on my new move in the next blog :)

Memorial Day Weekend -- Finally got my water camera developed - here's a cute picture of Dena and I floating down the Ichetucknee


June 11-15, 2010 -- Natalie and Martin's Wedding Reception in Atlanta
Natalie and Martin were married in December in Munich, Germany but friends and family from the US could not all make it, so this reception was to celebrate with friends/family in the US.

Wedding Festivities included:
Day 1: BBQ and lots of corn hole (my new favorite game!)

Day 2: Pemberton Place -- World of Coke and Georgia Aquarium thennnn the Fiesta Wedding Reception

Following the wedding festivities, Lisa Marie and I drove to Myrtle Beach for some beach time with my parents and mom's family. Then, we drove to GA for a quick tour of downtown Savannah and a day on the beach with Lisa and Les - they were so wonderful and took Lisa Marie and I out on the boat to the St. Catherines island. Then, Lisa Marie had to go back to Connecticut...

4th of July weekend -- Drove to Gainesville to see Dena then down to Palm Beach to visit with my Aunt Rise and Uncle Peter. We had a great holiday weekend catching up and eating tasty coconut shrimp and thai food!

Random sign in Arlington, VA (Bangladesh is everywhere these days!! signs, clothes, etc)...unfortunately I somehow managed to not take any other photos that night...but we had a lot of fun at Riras (an Irish Pub) in Arlington, dancing the night away to the Sugar Buzz Band

Downtown Alexandria/Old Town - waiting for dinner with A*Phis which didnt work out as planned due to the horrible traffic!! but Christy, Julie, and I were able to get together :)
