My 28th Birthday (Part 2)

My birthday continued with a long weekend to go visit my mom and sister in Smithfield, Virginia (near Norfolk). On Friday, we watched Game 7 of the Stanley Cup and got to see my husband’s team (he’s originally from Pittsburgh) the Pittsburgh Penguins win it all. It was so exciting. I also got another cake made for me. On Saturday morning, we went to the local Farmer’s Market and visited with all my mom’s friends and neighbors. They had so many different things for sale (produce, baked goods, candles, flowers, handmade soaps, even pets that you could adopt.

Here’s my mom picking out some squash.
Then she asked for string beans.

This one was my favorite! I loved his coloring.

Then my mom took us to the Smithfield Inn for an elegant lunch.
