We moved the music player and playlist to the very bottom of the page. It's easier to view and control things like the VOLUME in the new layout. Hope you enjoy our tunes...
So the cornerstone was laid in 1885, the Chapel was dedicated in 1889, we were married in January 2010 and when we returned for a visit during fall 2010, the Chapel was finally 100% wheelchair accessible. Jefferson would be proud! We definitely are happy. Yes, you remember the construction that was underway during our wedding earlier this year? How could you miss the bright orange "decorations" that surrounded the Chapel? (It added "personality," right?) Well, the entire ground around the Chapel was excavated and raised and beautiful brickwork walkways were installed to make the entrance flat and easy to roll in and out. It looks like it has been there the whole time!
Enjoy the photos and make the Chapel a "must see" on your next trip to C-ville.
We enjoyed a bit of a longer summer than we had expected when Mike's sister, Melissa, and her family came for a long weekend visit. Since the weather was still nice we were able to get in the water and play a bit. Mike took everyone on a boat ride (Savannah LOVED her own life jacket but Tatum wasn't especially fond of hers) that included a tour of the neighborhood homes. The ride was great until Mike managed to run out of gas (yes, a first) and some friends had to tow the pontoon to the gas dock. Both Charlotte and Davidson had kid fairs complete with rides, games and bouncy houses. During what little down time we had (yes, the kids were either full steam ahead or asleep) Andy helped Mike complete his seemingly endless house to-do list. The brass doorbell has never looked better (and it now works, too). Here are a few photos from Summer Camp Part 3. Our next guests roll into town for Turkey Day!
