Recently I traveled home to Virginia for the 4th of July weekend. I got to spend time with family and friends.
Since the members of my family are spread all over Virginia, my time at home is usually spent travelling a lot. The first stop on my trip was Newsomes Virginia, the peanut capital of the world. There I got to hang out with my Grandfather (who is a couple months away from being 90) and my aunts Dee Dee, June and Suzanne.
On the 4th of July in Newsomes we watched the Neighbors (who we nicknamed the Hill People) shoot off fireworks. Soon after they began a thunder storm rolled in with it's own light show, but those hill people still kept shooting off fireworks. We were witnessing an epic battle between the Hill People and God.
God won.
Then on to Charlottesville.
This is Mom, Dad, Grammy and Duncan with me at a Chinese Restaurant we all love called Shang-Hai. Whenever I go home, the main events during the days and evenings are the meals. So my Grammy cooked alot of great food, and we went out to alot of great restarants. Our family has awesome metabolism and for that I am grateful (and a little smug).
It was a very nice time.
Here are some other things I love about going home:
There are no Papa John's or Chic-fil-a's in or near Chicago. So, I took the opportunity to indulge.
Big time.

It's been a blong time
Crazy, crazy few weeks.
Lots of fun stuff:
-------------
Wing Night is up for Playground Membership very soon. It's been a long, challenging and rewarding process. We threw a fundraiser to buy a projector for the theater. It all worked according to plan.
We got to play in the Chicago Improv Festival as well. So things are going great guns for us.
--------------
Pudding-Thank-You hit the improv Jackpot and got asked to do shows at the American Theater Company. It's a great stage and the people who run it are super kind, supportive and well organized.
Saturday Night Live Alum Nora Dunn Saw a P-T-Y show there a couple weeks ago and wanted to be a part of it.
So last week she monologized for an improv form called "The Armando", and told an amazing true story about and Amnesty International benefit she did on the lifetime channel. It was hilarious.
I feel truly lucky to be a part of that team and theater. Not to mention, we are going to New York in august to perform in the Del Close Marathon, and I get giddy with excitement over that prospect.
---------------
This weekend I'm going home. I definitely don't get back home as much as I should. But I'm really looking forward to seeing my family. Ill try to take tons of pictures to document the trip.
