Travels and updates...

I know...it's been a while.  Part of me thinks "does anyone really care about what our daily lives have been up to?"  Well, there are a few friends and some (a) family member who do!  My step-mom checks my blog often and says "I'm patiently waiting for a post".  I like that she's my greatest blog fan :)

Anyway, as I said many months ago, this is the "year of travels" for the Vail family.  Scott and I spent 4 weekends straight traveling a minimum of 3+ hours.

We enjoyed an overnight in Savannah:  Took the Paula Deen tour (yes, my husband loves me...ALOT!).  Scott was 1 of 3 men and we were basically the only 2 that didn't have white hair...LOL.  Had so much fun.  The following day we traveled to Florida to cheer on Caleb at his final cheer World's competition.  They ended up in 6th place.  Pretty impressive considering teams from all over the world competed.

The following weekend we traveled to Lynchburg to witness a beautiful, God-centered wedding of my dear friend's son and his bride.  When we returned, we were welcomed by our children who sent us to a beautiful restaurant to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.  Upon our arrival home, we were greeted by friends (including one's from Wilson), a beautiful scrapbook, and more food.

Fast forward to the next weekend:  we traveled to Durham to see the Broadway musical "Wicked".  Amazing, is all I can say.  If you ever get a chance to see it...go!

One of the highlights of our travels was traveling back to our former church on Sunday, May 20th (hard to believe it was 5 years ago this past weekend that we left).  Peace Church celebrated their 50th year anniversary and they asked Scott to preach and me to sing.  It was extremely humbling and a blessing to see our "family" and friends.

Now we rest for a short time until we head out again.
