bonding time

This is going to be the second post in a row about my pop, which could mean one of two things: he's famous, or you'll start getting tired of hearing (reading) me talk about him! Today we took a 13+ mile bike ride around the Blackwater Creek trails (if you're in or around Lynchburg, VA you should go). We had such a good time, and not that we aren't bonded enough already, but I enjoyed quality father/daughter time!

From the top: Pop with our bikes (okay, so that picture is pretty obvious), next is my pop and I on our first break, third is my pop on our first break; I told him that I was taking a picture of him looking like a professional! Last is one of the tunnels (I think it's more like a cave) we went through on our way back. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and I don't think I could have asked for a better Sunday afternoon!

I had planned to show you pictures of my thrifting finds from my day with Micaela yesterday, but since I didn't get home until later when the sun was going down, I'll have to wait and take pictures tomorrow. I'm a little nuts about lighting.

Last, I have an important story to tell you. When I was at the grocery store on Friday, I was rushing through so I could hurry up and get home to bake Pop his birthday cake. I needed some orange juice (because Flojo drinks it all), so I saw a display of Tropicana O.J. - my regular brand - and I got it because it meant that I wouldn't have to walk to the usual spot and get it, thus saving me a minute. Yesterday afternoon I opened it up and noticed that it said "Trop50 orange juice beverage" and thought, "what the heck?" After I swallowed, I realized that mess wasn't orange juice at all! So I read the ingredients and realized that I didn't get real orange juice, I got some orange juice type low calorie drink. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit! So the moral of the story (aside from not buying Trop50) is... don't rush getting groceries!
