A Visit to Papaws

I went to visit my Papaw in the middle of May. My Mommy was very excited that I was finally going to see where she grew up, not to mention how excited my Papaw was. I am not sure if you all have heard of a small town in Southwest Virginia called Wise. Yes, it is quite small, but perfect in many ways, mostly because this is where my Mommy spent most of her life and where my Papaw resides. My Papaw has an Italian restaurant there - it is so yummy. And remember, Mommy is eating pizza again, so it is extra yummy! My Papaw was trying to give me breadsticks while we were there - my parents kept insisting that I must stick to Mommy's milk or Enfamil for now. Oh how I am looking forward to having some of Papaw's food from Romas!!

My Papaw is a very avid hunter - he absolutely loves going out west on big hunting trips. He couldn't wait to take me to his house and show me all his mounts! He had me posing with his grizzly bear and antelopes! It looks like I am going to end up being a hunter too or that is what Papaw tells me. One of my favorite parts of the trip was that I got to curl up on the couch with my Papaw and take a nap with him! The trip to Wise, Virginia was such a great trip. Before we headed back to Blacksburg, Mommy showed me where she went to high school and better yet where she used to play tennis. It brought back many memories for my Mommy! We are all looking forward to heading back to Wise...soon!
