i recently traveled to sml (smith mountain lake) to visit the roanoke fam for the holiday. will had to work (finishing up yet), so it was just me on a solo adventure. the car ride was pretty uneventful, which is always pleasant.
mom and i met dad at fork in the city, a new restaurant in downtown roanoke, for lunch on friday. we really had some great food and fun in the sun on the patio that day! that night i cooked us up some amazing food on the grill.
dad was feeling under the weather, and we’ve all sorta had a funkus since coming back from disney, so we resorted to the “netti pot”. dad was terrified of the thing, but ended up liking it after he gave it a whirl. it really does work, so give it a shot if you have not tried it out!
saturday, we all loaded in the car and headed to sml. the weather was amazingly perfect and we all enjoyed ourselves on my uncle’s new boat dock. after a day of fun in the sun we headed back into roanoke to view the fireworks in downtown roanoke. we were totally exhausted and went to bed after getting back to mom and dad’s.
sunday we went out to look at new homes for mom and dad, and of course it poured down rain. its always fun to get into the car, out of the car, into the car, out of the car, into the car, out of the car, in the pouring down rain. however, the prices are readjusting themselves, so it was good to go see what you can get for the $ these days. after the home tour we finished up the weekend with a visit to the barrel (cracker, that is). the place was packed, due to the holiday weekend, but we secured a table and dove into some delicious eats.
all in all, we had a great weekend!
