Durham . NC

I am not sure what this is, found it downtown but am wondering if it's parts from one of the tobacco factories?

1)

Remember that fountain I showed you last Friday? Well this is another part of it!

2) The boys and I just got home. They had a game in Spotswood which is about 2 hours from here. Nick couldn't make it, he would have had to leave work early but Ashlyn came with me so I wouldn't have to drive alone. The boys team won 44-12. Spotswood is just a few miles from Harrisonburg where Ashlyn attended JMU. Her best friend still goes there so she was able to come over and watch the game with us!

3)

Here is Dalton catching a kick return. That is Braden right there too. Dalton ran it down the field and scored a touchdown!

4)

Going over the play at the water cooler...Dalton 21 and Braden 15

5)

Another area of the fountain from #1...I know I just bounced around but I'm tired and can't think straight so off to bed I go!

That's my 5 this week and I hope you will play along too! Just post 5 randoms, link back and visit others! Have a great weekend!

Bei Bei

This is Bei Bei. He was born August 22, 2015. All he did was sleep in this very uncomfortable position while we were there.

I don't know which Panda this is. The Smithsonian has 4 but only Bei Bei and this one were out. You can watch the Pandas on their webcam HERE and you can see how much Bei Bei has grown since his birth HERE

On our last visit to DC this past spring, our first stop was to eat at Bub & Pops...Here Braden is annoyed with me and Nick is in line ordering our food...

Here Braden and Dalton are both annoyed with me and my camera haha...lunch is finished and we are stuffed! My goodness what good food! We had Italian subs and Chicago Beef sandwiches...we shared, they were HUGE! Definitely recommend!

Guy Fieri ate here and filmed a segment for Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives so you know it's good stuff!

1)

This is a water fountain that was near our hotel in DC the last time we went (spring)
It looks really pretty but for some reason the whole area smelled really, really bad so we couldn't enjoy it for long!

2) Braden and Dalton's first football game was tonight (Thursday)...we beat our rival school 44-0! The last 2 weeks were scrimmages.

3) The boys and I watched Stranger Things on Netflix. It was weird but good...if you like scary you should watch it! The little boy Finn is Christian's girlfriend's cousin! That looks odd written out ;)

4) I also started watching Cedar Cove on Netflix. It's a Hallmark series and a little corny but I like it...I like the characters and watch about an episode a day if I get a chance. There are only 3 seasons to it and I am in season 3. Andie MacDowell is in it.

5) A few weeks ago Nick was out of town and the boys were off doing something and I felt like watching a movie. I found An Unfinished Life ...I almost didn't want to watch it because it had Jennifer Lopez in it and I'm not a huge fan of hers but it also had Robert Redford in it and I do really like him. I am glad I chose to watch it though because I ended up liking it and Jennifer Lopez ended up being likeable ;)

Well that does it for my 5 this week! I hope you will play along! Post 5 randoms, anything you like, pictures, links, stories, whatever and link up and visit others! Have a great weekend!
