Vacation 2.0
Last weekend was supposed to be our last big hurrah before the upcoming fall. We had some camping to do, the OAR concert to go to, and general laziness to get accomplished. After all of that fell through, (and deciding to get out of the inferno that is our house) we booked a room for a couple of nights at the Downtown Marriott to redeem what was supposed to be last weekend’s mini vacation.
It might seem a little weird to go to a hotel that is less than, uhhmmmm, two miles away from where you live, but hotels hold a special place for our family. I don’t know why, but we heart hotels. It sucked that we were internet-less (because I refuse to pay 10 bucks for access…what a scam) but other than that, it was a great.
Anyhoo… some pictures from the weekend:

National Night Out
Here is a link to Richmond’s National Night Out activities.
From NNO’s website:
NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:
Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;
Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and
Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Get out there Richmond!
