Arizona Cousins

My cousins from Arizona (all of them!) came to visit the first week of October. It was the first trip to Virginia for several of them, so we tried to cram in as much site-seeing as possible in a week. Between all the Dooley's pitching in, they were able to visit the Peaks of Otter, Northern Virginia and DC (huge thanks to Mrs. Rowlands), Smith Mountain Lake, Oriskany (for the guys) and Lexington (for the girls) and Appomattox. It was great to have them all, and hopefully they'll come back soon! I'll post pictures soon.

Outer Banks 2008

Another great year at the beach, although we had a Lin-enforced evacuation due to a tropical storm that came through--he made us leave two days early. We had a great time though, and enjoyed seafood, shopping, pastries from The Orange Blossom, steamer pots, and Yappy Hour at the Outer Barks.
