Saturday Rachel and I enjoyed a leisurely stoll around Old Town including lunch at the Fish Market, where they serve 32oz. schooners the size of her head!
Later in the day after exploring on the Potomac River and a birthday dinner at home, we headed out for the main event, a piano performance at Westmoreland Church on the DC/Maryland border.
It was a little boring, at just about two hours, but it was amazing playing and it made my dad happy...
Then, today, we woke up with all intentions of heading to Fredericksburg on our way home for lunch and more exploring. I decided to call Rory just to see if he was still going to Kings Dominion (as he had said was planned a day earlier). It turned out he was only 20 minutes in front of us on 95, on his way with Jessica and their two friends! Let's go! I hit 90 miles an hour in Rachel's Mini Cooper and we were there in about a half an hour.
The weather was perfect and there were barely any lines all day on most of the rides! It was incredible, like I've never seen it before. You could practically just stay on some of the roller coasters for multiple rides. But Rory had never really been on any roller coasters before and as his first one ever, Jessica suggested the Volcano; an insane "launch style" coaster that totally freaked Rory out! She figured it would make him think he could conquer any other coaster, but the complete opposite happened. He just wanted to "sit around and drink beer with his friends." (Most of us just rode the rides with or without him, anyway). To give him credit he did the Log Flume, and the White Water Rapids (and got soaked) and a few others. Most of the water rides weren't open yet. Bumper cars was awesome; we did The Rebel Yell, The Hurler, The Italian Job, Flight of fear, and several others.
(Oh, Rory did jump this trashcan in the park, which was pretty awesome...)
A wonderful end to an pretty relaxing awesome weekend.

Bredan said my comment was "depressng".
Truthfully my weekend was quite nice-- very beachy. It's just all the pictures with big beers, Dave-O, and uncrowded coasters made me jealous.
