This past weekend we went to Lexington, Va. This trip was a welcome break from the fast paced life of Washington, DC. When we arrived on Friday, we volunteered at the Friday’s Alive event hosted by the local Lexington/Rockbridge Jaycees Club. The event took place at the Liberty Hall Academy Ruins adjacent to the campus of Washington and Lee University. This was a great opportunity to listen to beach music and to meet some of the KA staff.

On Saturday, we toured downtown Lexington, seeing Lee Chapel, Stonewall Jackson’s and Ammen’s graves, and we toured the KA National Administrative Office at Mulberry Hill. That afternoon we participated in a KA vs. Sigma Nu softball game where both national offices competed against each other. Even though we lost to Sigma Nu, it was a great opportunity to interact with both staffs in a competitive environment. Later Saturday night, we attended a cookout and did some fishing. This weekend was a well needed break.
