Weekend Wrap-Up From Ashburn,VA

Tomorrow (Tuesday) will mark the end of the Virginia leg of the tour.  Ah, ol' Virginny.  My birth state.  I felt a tug at my heart as we passed through Williamsburg - the city of my birth.  I realized that most of my memories of this state are from my childhood; I'd love to take some time at some to explore it as an adult.

That being said, Virginia is a BIG ASS state.  Dense, and at times, it seems never-ending.  The traffic surrounding DC is quite frustrating; I never want to live here.  The metro is not reliable enough and driving a car to get around everyday is too daunting to imagine.  Nonetheless, the schools here have been especially gracious and welcoming, AND we had a day off after all - a school in Maryland canceled their shows Friday because they missed so many days due to snow.  So no 11 day stretch!

Speaking of snow, it's everywhere here.  Not on the roads, but on curbs, in parking lots stacked high.  It's hard for me to fathom what 30 inches of snow looks like, but the remnants of the "snowpocalypse" are still here - and I have a feeling they're only going to get worse as we go further north.  Up this week:  Glenshaw, PA (a city near Pittsburg) and then onto Ohio for the weekend.

We performed for 4 libraries in Prince William County this weekend..  Library performances have become my favorite; everyone that attends wants to be there.  The audiences may be smaller, but they always appreciate the performance and ask great questions.

I promise to post some pictures as soon as I can get them uploaded.
