So, this weekend I went up to see TRgirl and Randy.  They live just south of Richmond.  Friday night we went out for Mexican and then played Mini-Golf.  (I came in second, beating TRgirl.) 

Saturday, Randy went to work early and then had a bachelor's party to go to.  TRgirl and I went to Petersburg National Battlefield.  I wanted to see the Crater, and she indulged me.  (Well, she also wanted to see if it would be a good outing for the  kids she works with.  Answer:  no.)  Anyway, I took pictures.  (Next time:  Tredegar.) 

That night, we went out with 2 of her friends to finish off the bachelorette party for one of them.  We went to the Midway Lounge, which is apparently tradition.  (And there were 2 other bachelorette parties there that night.)  The music was a mix of country, dance, and pop.  We heard Big & Rich, Shania Twain, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Pussycat Dolls, Eminem, and Gwen Stefani.  The bar was smokey and made my eyes hurt, but I had a good time. 

Today, I raided their camping gear.  Randy promised to lend me Under the Banner of Heaven, but couldn't find it.  Proving that he's cool like Matlock.
