Weekend in Virginia

Got out of work early today (yay!) and have just finished packing up a few things. The mister and I are heading up to visit his family in Newport News for the weekend. His two brothers and their wives are stationed at/living near the Air Force base up there (although one of my sisters-in-law is in Iraq right now, and I'll be missing her!), and his parents will be up for the weekend, too. One thing is guaranteed: there will probably be a lot of good food and a fair bit of ambling about a mall or outlet stores. I'm hoping there will be some interest in seeing Stardust -- one niece is still home from college for the summer, and I'm pretty sure she'd want to see that -- 'cause I love opening weekends. (This is because I'm crazy.)

Current reading: The Grey King, Susan Cooper
Current knitting: Ravenclaw scarf (Azkaban movie style). I've gotten hung up on figuring out how best to carry a color up the side, which has slowed me down a bit, but I'm hoping to get a bit more done this weekend.
