The Foolery Family has just returned from vacation, half of which was spent in Mathews, Virginia, for the second-annual Virginia BlogFest. Perhaps you've heard of it? You really should plan to go next year.
We had tons of great food . . .
. . . but we didn't neglect our vegetables . . .
. . . or our fiber.
We had energy drinks too, of course.
There was a little of this . . .
. . . and a little of that . . .
. . . and of course a whole lot of this.
Oh, and this. We had a little of this.
(Original photo stolen from Big Hair Envy)
But mostly, we had a ridiculous amount of fun, including my children and my husband.
Thank you Chesapeake Bay Woman, Bayman, Big Hair Envy, Noe-Noe Girl, C-Dub, Re, and the Chesapeake Bay Family for a fantastic time, and for making us feel so welcome. I hope to be able to return the favor some day. How do you feel about Mexican food and flies?
That last photo is adorable.
So glad to have met your happy family. Your husband is a hoot!

sigh. The Foolery Clan are beautiful inside and out. Just like we knew they would be. That last shot? Perfection;)

Mostly I'm flabbergasted that no one thinks the vegetable drawer is the least bit unusual.

@Ron, I will be by to watch that video SOON.
@Meg, I have almost 350 photos from our whole trip, 2/3 of which were from D.C. It was so hard to find a place to START! I won't bore y'all with all of 'em, don't worry.
@noe noe, wait until you see TOMORROW'S post, starring YOU. : )
@CBW, I have no idea what was happening there. I rated it PG and moved on.
@momx2, I am bummed that I missed you, too. NEXT TIME!
@yogurtry, that shrimp boil was to die for. Miss noe noe and her husband and Big Hair Envy were the chefs; I was lucky to be a kitchen wench and watch the proceedings (at least before bailing and taking a sunset boat ride, that is). I HAVE THE RECIPE. This WILL be made.
Thanks everybody, for reading, and to my fellow Blisters, thank you for another weekend that goes down in the Fooleryland Hall of Fame for Best Fun EVER!

That clam bake / shrimp boil looking food tray looks SO good.

LOVE that last photo! You all are such a great family, each and every one of you.
p.s. Umm what is Kate doing to the Baroness in that picture? Or is that the BAroness' arm, in which case what is SHE doing? How did I miss all this?

Great photos - especially the last one! Now where is my energy drink?

Glad you're back. You've been missed and have a lot of reports to catch up on to include a video on how to make German Potato salad.
