Belle Isle

Justin's cousin Nick just finished law school at the University of Virginia. They moved out when we did so it was great having him and his wife Nadine and their family only an hour away the last 3 years. They come to Richmond one last time and we went down to Belle Isle. It was great. They have moved on to Dallas and we will miss them!
