Visitors...

This past weekend, my grandpa and brother drove up from Tampa to visit us! What a wonderful two days we had! This was the first time my brother has been to Gainesville since we moved down, and it was a blast showing him around town, trying out a few new restaurants (Peace Valley Cafe and Zaxby's), going to the park with Riley, and just hanging out. This May, he is going to be graduating from UVA, and then he will be relocating to the Big Apple to take an economic consulting job up there. I am so proud of my little brother! We definitely do not get to see each other nearly enough during the year, so it was a real treat to have two more days with him! Plus, he now has a fondness for quality short fiction, and I loved swapping short stories and discussing them with him. Oh, and did I mention we hit Dairy Queen twice in two days?? Riley was a big fan, too - chasing after her "Brun-den" and playing with his phone. It was great getting to see Grandpa, too! Thanks for an awesome weekend!! We miss you already!!
