So we left on Thursday to start our trip to Roanoke, VA for our niece, Lauren's, wedding to Daniel. We stopped in Knoxville for the night, and finished up the trip on Friday. The ride up through Tennessee and Virginia was beautiful!!! So Friday night we went to the rehearsal dinner at Sundara near Roanoke. It is a gorgeous bed 'n breakfast! The dinner was wonderful and it was great to meet Daniel's family. Dan's family went all out, and it was great!!
On Saturday, we squeezed in a drive down part of the Blue Ridge Parkway! Beautiful!! The weather was so nice, in the 70's and sunny! In June!! (I don't even think the lows in Memphis this time of year get near 70! lol) We saw Uncle Joe and Arlena, and Uncle Fred and Aunt Connie at a couple of the overlooks too!! Thanks to Uncle Joe for taking a couple of the pics too:)

Best part of Saturday was of course the wedding!! It went so smoothly, the weather was perfect, and Lauren looked absolutely beautiful!! The reception was wonderful and the music by the quartet was wonderful!! So were the tunes later by Chelsea's boyfriend, Matt! Lots of dancing, and fun!! Highlights were the dance stylings of the groom, Dan, and our nephew, Owen!! The send off for the bride and groom was something I have not seen before, and I can't wait to see the photographer's pics...everyone had these huge sparklers as they came down and went out!! Scott & Peg looked so happy, and they did a wonderful job with the wedding!

Last event in Roanoke was the family breakfast on Sunday at The Roanoker. Nice, laid back, wonderful way to see everyone before we all headed out in different directions! And a Happy 23rd Birthday for Kristen too:)
For anyone that we missed before we left, it was wonderful to see you, and we will have to do it again soon!!!
Part 2...Washington, DC!! So excited!
