(This is my fave picture from break. It's the brain Catherine and Kate found on their beach walk [and Catherine's foot, for scale purposes]. The brain is tagged as me on facebook, thanks Kate:)

Aloha from Harrisonburg...hellos and goodbyes are abounding at the moment... A sad day today saying goodbye for a little while to Hannah. But never fear, the Dollhouse isn't done causing a ruckus yet (nor will it be for years to come, we hope!)
Anyway, due to an influx of requests (cough* threats cough*) from the house encouraging the chronicling of the rest of Spring Break, here we go!
1) I forget where I left off, but we went out to dinner (on Hannah's generous parents, thank you Smiths!) and had yummy food at T-Bonzzzzz (sp?) . mmmmm... Turns out our waiter fancied himself a musician, and invited us to go to his show later in the week. We found out it was wa-hay past our bedtime (it was at 10). So we thought no. way. man. We don't stay up that late for anything but mind-blowing pranks. And even that only sometimes. Onward-
2) The rest of the week was spent straight chillin'. We went to the beach, got some tans (would have considered the week a bust without them) and explored a deserted island. We had to swim across a bit of FREEZING water, with a current that would have swept us right out into the deep blue, but we got across safely with no shark attacks and our clothes still (somewhat) dry since we held them over our heads. The beach was amazing, and since nobody goes over there, there were tons of huge sea-shells and other crazy ocean-vomit artifacts. It was great fun, and we found an old abandoned shack and climbed around for a while. It's been a while since any of us have played "pretend," so we thought it'd be a good idea to play "Lost." And that's what we did. And it was great.
3) We saw a shark the next day on the beach in the same water we had just braved the day before!!!! It was about 3 or 4 feet long, a sand-shark, and it was beaching himself. It was interesting how many people took pity on it and were trying to save it (if it had been healthy, people at the beach would probably have wanted it dead...?). Some guy decided to throw it back in right where the surfers were. Nice thought but not too brilliant, eh?
4) Went to Broadway at the Beach for din-din/ had a weird waiter (no comment)/ discovered our love for pralines and bear claws/ looked for alligators but there were none to be found/ chugged some Rita's/ good-night.
5) Unfortunately paradise had to end. We did get to make a stop on the way home however, and we met Hannah's Aunt and Uncle! They were awesome! They were pretty surprised that a bunch of college girls would want to come visit them (and excited, since they got out their camera and took pictures of us, ha.) We were even offered a special kind of cake none of us had ever heard of before...
6) Friday night- Arrived back at the burg after dropping Catherine off in the 'mond, a little tanner, happier and ready-er to not have to do anymore schoolwork.
7) Un-packed and other boring chores, and were welcomed back by many good friends fitting inside our tiny living room. Next adventure: Getting through classes this week.

PS Dollhouse, I found the name of that guy we listened to over break, and bought some of his other music, some of it's pretty good. Check it: Matt Nathanson.

PSS. Seriously miss you Hannah. Seriously. Hope Chuck-E-Cheese was as great as it was in the old days.
