Charlottesville is the furthest south I’ve been in Virginia. Four of us went to dinner yesterday (Sat) evening. For a change, the other two weren’t our kids, but another couple who have two kids – but also a babysitter. We went to Zinc, where we sat outside by the fountain; I enjoyed the steak frites, among other things.
On the 4th of July, we went to Grand Caverns, a cool destination in more ways than one: it was interesting, and about 40 degrees below the heat of the great outdoors. Then it was back to Charlottesville for the fireworks, which were a lot of fun to watch from a blanket on a high school field.
