Saltville
Dustin's first away rotation was in the tiny town of Saltville, VA. He worked on patients at the clinic during the day...
And ventured into the country in the evening...
Riding in lawn chairs in the back of a pick-up truck. I feel a redneck joke coming on...
It might be the middle of nowhere, but it sure is beautiful.
While Dustin has been away on rotations I've spent a lot of time in Northern Virginia with my family. Swimming, shopping, cooking, and enjoying being home with my brother and sisters. Dustin joined us for the weekend after working hard in Norfolk.
Great Falls Park
Saturday afternoon we took a hike through Great Falls. I've lived in Virginia (on and off) for the last 18 years and didn't know about this little gem. (Or can't remember having ever been.) Great Falls is a national park situated along the Potomac River- which divides Maryland and Virginia- right outside of D.C. (very close to Tyson's Corner if you define locations by shopping, like me).
We encountered a bunch of deer. They didn't run when we got close. They just stared.
It was a beautiful hot and sweaty day.
The park has trails for hiking, biking, and even horse back riding. You can fish, picnic, kayak, canoe, and rock climb. We'll be back!
Father's Day
Then we celebrated Father's Day with my family. The patio set was our family gift to Dad.
So we had dinner outside around the grill...
My dad had begged the family to see
Gnomeo and Juliet with him and then
hated it. So we thought it would make the perfect gift!
Dad, we love you!
Disclaimer: Dustin is not, although probably should be, getting paid to advertise for RVCA. He does happen to have a lot of their t-shirts and it just seems as though that's all he wears!
