Chicken Nugget Girl

We had our first visitor in Virginia, Chance's good friend Nicole came to see us on her Fall break. It was nice to have some company and get out and do some exploring for a few days. Tim was also very very excited to have a guest. The kind of crummy thing about our rural location is that there is nothing close by to do, but drive a couple hours in any direction and you are in major cities, so besides having to drive a lot of hours, we had a lot of fun! Nicole was only here a few days, but we tried to cram a lot in. It is kind of a funny story how Chance knows her, maybe I can talk him into sharing that story on his blog, it's a good one! I met her for the first time last year when she came to see us in Hawaii, but I got sick and that sucked real bad. This time I got to hang out with her more and it was great to be able to gang up on Chance for a few days :)

Some things we did during Nicole's visit...

•  Went to beerfest, and sampled local microbrewery beers along with national beer companies
•  Drank too much at beerfest, and Nicole informed Chance that she did not want to be a 'chicken nugget girl'. None of us ever figured out what that meant, so we just laughed about it all weekend. 
• Went to Ocean City, MD and had Thrasher fries on the boardwalk and $6 lemonade.
• Nicole got to put her feet in the Atlantic for the first time :)
• We had a failed attempt at making snickerdoodles, they turned out like muffin tops. Weird!
• We tried really hard to cram DC into one day, but it was a rather failed attempt. We did make it there for a bit though.
• We saw the Lincoln Memorial, The Monument, The WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, the empty Reflection Pool, The White House, and 'Occupy  DC'. 
• Antique shopping on the Eastern Shore. 
• Watched Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus
• Became utterly disappointed when finding out that Zachary Binx is in fact Thackary Binx and pretty much our lives have been a lie for the last 18 years. 

It was great to see her, and we look forward to her next visit! Thank you Nicole for coming to see us :)
