11 years...

The Malevolence to go along with his Death Star.

The leaves were so beautiful.

Frankly, the fact that my baby boy turned 11 today has just thrown me for a loop! How can he be 11?

Well, he is. And he is fabulous. We went away for the weekend to a cabin in the mountains of West Virginia. We froze! We hung around the camp fire, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, rode Cass Railroad...again. Our 10th time. We missed a few years while we were in Utah and some years we rode twice. Nicholas was so happy!

It was cold and wet and should have been miserable. However, the leaves were stunning and a blanket of fog only made the landscape that much more beautiful. And, at any rate, here is an overview of our lovely weekend! In pictures!

Waiting for something amazing to happen.

We rode number 11 at 11:00 in car number 11 for his 11th birthday. And it was all a happy coincidence! How about that!?

And that was our wonderful weekend in the West Virginia Mountains. Otherwise known as...home.
