Good visit with old friends in VA

We stopped in Leesburg, VA, and visited with Steve and Betty, our
friends from when we lived in Reston while I worked at headquarters.
They are doing well, and it was fun spending the evening talking and
catching up on all the things happening in our lives. It was great to
see their children and how they've grown, and they enjoyed seeing our
kids and hearing about all their adventures. Their son Jacob is an
accomplished violin player, and enjoyed hearing him play a couple of
pieces for us. And I learned that one of the wildest kids I have ever
dealt with (not Steve or Betty's son) has persevered from when I was his
Cub Scout den leader and is about to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
It was a nice evening, and a great way to spend the last night of our
trip. We love our friends and family!
