Back to Burke

It is a comforting feeling to bring your baby back to your hometown. We went out to Burke today and visited some of the places that were a large part of my childhood. Taffe and I first popped in for a surprise visit to Grandma at White Oaks ES, which was my 1st school in Virginia, and it's also where my mom is the current principal. We then headed over to Burke Lake park, where you may remember me chugging along on the cross country course. But before my glory days as a runner, my family and I used to ride our bikes over to Burke Lake and enjoy the train and ice cream. Taffe LOVED the train. He was so peaceful and relaxed.
Afterwards we enjoyed a picnic in a nice shady spot which was also the started line of the XC course. Taffe was not up for a race today, instead he did some resting and some rolling around. What a perfect day.
