Our Trip to Dayton, OH on 04/17 and 04/18

Here's my first blog! Mom, Dad, Natalya, and I took a road trip to Dayton Ohio to watch Julian perform at the WGI Percussion Finals with Music City Mystique. This was Julian's last performance with Mystique as he finished 7 wonderful seasons. He aged-out as cymbal captain and Mystique was awarded the bronze medal this year. We are so proud of Julian! The performance of the show, Requiem, can be viewed on youtube.com if you search for Music City Mystique 2009. The finals DVD will not be available until august. =(

Our road trip was a lot of fun and Natalya behaved like a perfect angel on the way there. We passed Bardstown and talked about stopping by Nazareth College on the way home. We made a pit stop at Cracker Barrell and enjoyed a nice brunch. After a full afternoon and evening of performances, we slept soundly at the Marriott Courtyard right across from the UD Arena.

On the way home, Natalya was a bit restless, but we got through it. We missed a turn and by a miracle from God ended up in Bardstown and were able to do a quick tour of Nazareth College, where mom went to boarding school. That was a wonderful experience and a nostalgic one for mom. We hope you enjoy the pictures.

God's Love,
Heidi
