Off to London in May

Kat and I are heading to London from May 17-24. We cannot wait.
This is our much-delayed honeymoon-- and to say HOW delayed, we'll be celebrating our third anniversary there.
Kat is researching things to do and see, and friends have already given us recommendations, so it is shaping up to be a very busy trip. The tour includes a visit to Bath, Stonehenge, and Stratford-on-Avon (Kat's especially excited about seeing Shakespeare's home), plus plenty of free time.
We're getting a couple spare chips for the digital camera-- I know Kat will be a shutterbug the whole time-- and are thinking what else we'll need to take.
Can't say how thrilled we are at making this trip.
More soon!

Loudoun County VA Farm Tour

Yesterday Kat and I did a bit of driving around Loudoun County. This weekend was the annual Farm Color Tour, wherein a bunch of local farmers open their properties to agritourists like us. We had a real good time visiting the Heritage Farm Museum, Crooked Run Orchards and Temple Hall Farm Regional Park.

We also had lunch at a nice place on West Colonial Highway in Hamilton, VA (just off Rt 287). It's Lowrys Crab Shack, and we can definitely say that the portions are ample and the prices very reasonable. We liked the place quite a bit (as did their many customers) and plan to visit again if we're out that way.

We have a few pictures on our second-best camera and will update this post when we unload the chip. Kat took some pictures of sheep, chickens and so on, while I snapped some landscapes. You'll see them here soon.
