Zsa Zsa!

Zsa Zsa was kind enough to come up and visit with us for her three-day President's Day weekend! We did all sorts of fun stuff...

We took a family trip to Freedom Park where there are miles and miles of hiking and biking trails and the botanical "Ellipse Garden" featuring more than 800 species of Virginia vegetation (most of which were dormant during our visit). The park is called Freedom Park because it's the site of one of the nation's earliest Free Black Settlements in America. It includes three historically accurate recreated cabins that are furnished with items authentic to the period (1803-1850).

This is Chris' self-portrait from the trail...proof that he was there, as he says (he had to know this was going to end up on the blog)...

Ridiculously adorable Lincoln among the pinecones (he really likes pinecones right now)...

The kiddies on the Freedom Park trail (I'm still pulling pine needles from Louis' velcro-like fur)...

We also walked over to our neighborhood playground and this is when Zsa Zsa learned about Louis' love for swinging (even if it made his sensitive little dog stomach vomit)...

Good times!
