Memorial Day weekend celebration




Saturday morning we were off the the Charlottesville City Market. The trick is going early before the place is packed. Although there was a threat of rain today, lots of people were already milling around. We found some homemade ravioli (spinach and cheese), fresh bread from Balkan Bakery, of course a balloon animal for Ellie. We met several people originally from NY. At the first bakery stand, they were originally from Rochester and their daughter had an Adirondacks t-shirt on. They've been here 10 years. Standing at that stand was a family originally from Albany with two small kids who've been here 14 years. We've come to realize Charlottesville is a melting pot of New Yorkers!



We began the weekend with a 3D movie (Polar Express) on Friday night. As many of you know, Friday night is movie night for Ellie and when she found 4 sets of 3D glasses in the Polar Express case, that was the choice for the night.
