The James River is Awesome

Friday -- All of our schedules worked out and every was home - so we finally made it to a Braves Game this season... Great Weather -- lots of junk food -- a couple of foam fingers -- and VCU Coach Anthony Grant -- Braves got a win... Yeah - it was a great time.

Saturday -- Cruised up to Scottsville to go Tubing on the James (here). The website said 6 years old and up. So the 4 year old didn't make it. He went to the Watermelon Fest at the Chesterfield Berry Farm instead.

Anyway, tubing on the James is Awesome -- Basically you sit on a tube for 3 hours and relax. Stopping along the way to eat lunch on an island - play football -- whatever. We had a great time. If you go bring some goggles - We saw some pretty big fish and a couple of turtles along the way. Matthew had us convinced we saw a beaver - turned out to be a dog... We were also amazed by the amount of beer people would bring on their tubing trip. But don't let that stop you from going - it was actually pretty funny - how some people will react to being in a tube drunk.

We plan to back in August - and with the 4 year this time. We pleaded are case - explained all $$ we spent on swimming lessons etc,etc...

Sunday -- a day of rest needed -- not sure how relaxing on a tube the previous day makes one so tired...
