It was lovely. One day Grandma said she would watch Meggie, and sent us out on a date to a Spanish restaurant and a movie. We watched "The Lightning Thief," and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jonathan assures me they butchered it about like they usually do when adapting from a book, so it's probably just as well I haven't read them yet, but it had a lot of smart and fun concepts going on, and wasn't annoying in at least three ways it easily could have been. It was a bit racy in parts, offstage; the sidekick is a satyr, after all. And best of all, the main girl is the same actress who plays Kate in "White Collar." Yay!
We came back on the alternate route my parents discovered over Christmas. It's so much nicer than I-95 it isn't even funny. It's the sort of road that makes you realize just how beautiful Virginia really is.
Is that the alternate route through Hamilton? (Y'all may have gotten on a bit further down.) 'Cause I agree about its superiority.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is kind of the route through Hamilton. We didn't actually take that (the Harmony Church road, I think you mean?) this trip because we weren't going to P-ville. But when we do, that's what we like because it is beautiful. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe route we took was 15 south till it joins 17 through Warrenton and Culpeper, and then 522 to where it hits 64. And 64 goes right by our apartment.
