It has been an interesting past three weeks. A few of the highlights include: a family trip to Tennessee, riding in a tow truck (my car would not start), Christmas Eve with grandparents, Christmas Morning (and new high heels for Heidi), going running on the Northbank Trail, parties (and more parties), a trip to Virginia Beach to see friends, and pinkeye (Holly).
While we have been busy, and have enjoyed the company of so many people, I believe my favorite time during the winter break was the afternoon of December 31st which I spent with Holly, right here in Richmond.
The weather was beautiful for New Year’s Eve Day. We spent our afternoon together at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and saw the Mummy exhibit per Holly’s request. What kid does not love mummies, especially when there is a 3-D movie involved? It was Holly’s first 3-D movie and we sat in the front row. She kept reaching up to catch the images when they moved towards her. Pretty neat.
After leaving the exhibit, we walked around and saw a few works of art. As we were leaving, I asked my daughter if she wanted to walk over to Cary Street and grab some ice cream. Dumb question.
It was our first time at Sweet Frog. We had heard rave reviews about it from our friends, but had yet to try it. The ice cream (technically yogurt) and toppings buffet (“bar” does not adequately describe the vast amounts of goodies that were on display) did not disappoint.
We relaxed in big green chairs outside of the store while Holly ate her ice cream and I drank a ginger ale. We watched as people from all walks of life passed us by. It was a wonderful way to spend the last day of the year.

That does sound like a perfect way to end the year.
May 2012 be an even better one for you all!!!
