1000 Islands, Canada
The only kind of blog I've ever written is a travel blog... Last week, Andrew & I took a nice little vacation to spend time with the Carberrys and William and Mary alumni.
We started off just north of Lake Ontario in Consecron, Canada. His cousin graduated high school so the extended family celebrated by getting house boats and cruising the St. Lawrence visiting the "1000 Islands." My official job was the navigator, which is more difficult than it may sound when there are islands everywhere that all look basically the same from the boat! We docked to swim, go hiking, cook dinner, and drink wine. We stayed on a different island every night. Boldt Castle was an interesting day trip. It's an old castle on the US side of the riverway that was never finished because Mr. Boldt was building it for his wife, who died at age 45 during the construction. Now it represents lost love...
From Canada we headed down to Williamsburg, Virginia for a gorgeous wedding of Andrew's college teammate. He and his college sweetheart got married under a large oak tree next to the Chickahominy River at a private location called "Pigs Point." They wrote their own vows and one of the lines really stuck with me and Andrew. They vowed to "be my best self for you." Being a gemini, I am the first to admit that I often have dueling personalities. I am working towards being my best self at all times!
This weekend we're headed to Knoxville, Tennessee. We are looking forward to being home on a Sunday again to go to 2BC!
