Fun Weekend with Aunt Tinka

My sister came down this weekend. It was supposed to be a surprise for my mom's birthday but my dad slipped. We hadn't even told Preston knowing he would definitely ask when Aunt Tinka was coming. It was so nice to see Katie. Saturday morning Katie ran a 5K in under 30 minutes! Go Katie! We were supposed to go strawberry picking on Saturday, only to drive up and see it closed. Poor Preston was pretty disappointed. I guess he felt a little like Chevy Chase when he pulled up to Wally World, except John Candy totally was not at the gate and we really did not go to the farm and ride all the rides by ourselves. So the berry farm has to wait a few more weeks (this is also the same place as the pumpkin farm with the petting zoo and barrel rides so you see why the kiddo was so disappointed). My mom felt so bad that Preston was that disappointed, she started looking frantically all around her for a toy store. Instead we spent the afternoon outside, at the playground and Pres rode his scooter. I also picked up my new car! Yippee! My lease was up and I was so over the allotted mileage-I would owe over five thousand dollars! Now that leasing is mostly a thing of the past, the dealership bought out the amount I owed and I got into another Equinox. This time though there is no mileage restriction. The Equinox is coming out with a new body style this summer, so if after a couple of years I want to trade in, I have that option. This one is awesome with satellite radio, OnStar already in and activated and the IPod dock. The other cool thing is the last car I picked out with my ex husband so it felt good to give back another piece of that part of my life. I would have posted a picture, but my license plate is visible so I will take another one this week. Today we took my mother to the Jefferson Hotel for their champagne Sunday brunch-a Richmond tradition. It was so nice and the food was ridiculous! We had a great time! Here are some pics of the weekend!

Brunch was so amazing-they had our table on the rotunda level all set up with a booster seat ready and his water and juice cups ready as well. He felt very special since all the table are pre-set with water, orange juice and champagne! Check out my mom and sis hitting up the dessert buffet table!
