it's good to be home!



2,911 miles and 9 states later- we're back home after a great vacation to Virginia. since Abby is the first great grandchild on the Polk side of Matt's family, it was about time she met them all! Abby was able to spend time with two great grandparents, three great aunts, three great uncles, and six of her second cousins. it was a wonderful trip not only for the family value but also because Matt and I were able to spend five days on a road trip together for our five year anniversary! for those of you curious- Matt gave me a beautiful necklace from James Avery and a jewelry box that he built himself (he also inscribed a beautiful poem on it through the magic of a wood burner)... as for me, I gave him a kayak :) after five years we've finally realized how much I appreciate the sentimental and Matt appreciates the useful things in life!
above are a picture of the three of us in front of the most beautiful house in Virginia (DaddyDan and GranAnn's house, conveniently enough!)
and a picture of the direct line of four generations (Nana, Abby, DaddyDan, GranAnn, and Matt)
