We went and visited the Roanoke Star, which sits atop a mountain near our house. It is the largest man-made star in the world and lights up every night until midnight. Built in 1949, it is 88.5 feet tall and the star itself is 10,000 pounds, while the entire steel structure is 60,000!
This is Penny’s “ah I feel so much better” face. Little goob set a new PR and went potty FOUR times on our trip to the star. Note to self: bring twice as many baggies next time.
We also checked out the Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic drive that meanders for hundreds of miles, part of which goes through Roanoke.Penny was loving it-I think she needs some doggles though.
I also watched Kassi over the weekend, she’s such a pretty girl!
We put more Tyvek on the basement ceiling to cover the insulation.
And we put together my dresser, which I promptly started to decorate.
Breakfast for dinner and more Scandal watching was a must.
Thunder storms were forecasted but all we saw were blue skies. Penny appreciated her fetch session near Casey’s school.
That star is so cool!
Great shot of Kassi.
Penny proved me wrong~I thought she wasn’t likely to ever use that potty!
We are cable-less now too, but Dad is surviving because of Scandal. Ha!
So, basically. I’m going to have to come visit. And stay forever. 😛 I’ll just build a shack in the back yard (you have a back yard, right?) and Charlie and I can stay there. Sound good? Good.
haha yay!
