Passover in Virginia

To celebrate Passover and Scott's birthday, Scott and I took Friday off to drive to Virginia.  This was a different road trip compared to others because I'm learning to drive stick shift! I'm pretty bad at it, but with time I'm sure I will be good at it. I was able to give Scott a break. The highway was easy because I remained in 5th gear. Turning off for a pit stop is another story!

Marcia prepared a delicious Seder dinner and we read from the Haggadah. Scott's father, Jim, chose which sections we read so it wouldn't be long and dull.  Marcia & Jim shared with me that when they were growing up, the Seder would go on for hours. I relished our condensed version.

 

I took this photo a moment too soon. 

It's missing the charred egg that is symbolic of the sacrifice in the temple in ancient Jerusalem and of everlasting life.

 About to begin the Seder.
