Nuala started the fourth off with a walk down to the Rivah in the cool early morning hours and watched the sun come up.
After our hike Nuala had breakfast then chilled out at home while Al and I went with Dave Belde and his girls Sophie and Lilly, to have breakfast at the Paradise Cafe. We rushed breakfast and made it back to the hood in time for the annual kids parade. John & Ruth Ann rig the boom box for the march music and we are joined by Luna, Rosie, Nora, Ann, Karen, and the Star Spangled Patriots Beryl, and Inga.

Clockwise from top left- Leah, Hadley, Carlin... Doc Dave with Greta in tow..... Dave, Lilly, & Sophie.... Leah, Mike, Hadley, & Carlin...
Dave and Kelsey hosted the Fourth picnic at their home on Riverside Drive... Great food, great company, and great view of the fireworks across the river.
Fun!
ReplyDeleteWe were thinking of you all as we watched the fireworks show in DC.
I'm thinking one of these years we all need to meet in CA and go to the Hollywood Bowl show...for old times sake.
Love to our favorite Virginians!
