Geocaching Weekend and Birthday

Hubby's birthday is Monday, and since he's obsessed with geocaching, we are on a mini vacation in Lexington, VA to do some geocaching.
We stopped in Strasburg, VA on the way down to get a geocoin that celebrates Stasburg's 250th anniversary.  The first stop was at the Stasburg Museum and by the 2nd stop, we had a feeling the multicache was the same as the walking tour.  Luckily, we had picked up the brochure that was at the 1st stop.  By the 5th stop (out of 11), we were all hot and we could tell Esa had enough.  So we cheated a little and went right to the 10th stop (on the walking tour), but it wasn't the 10th stop on the multicache!  After a little bit, we figured we'd go to the 9th stop (on the walking tour) to see if that had any of the answers.  Sure enough, it did! 

We ended up at the Stasburg Hotel and Dan went in and said the magic words "Is Mrs. Murphy cooking today?" and got the geocoin.

We then stopped at McDonald's and got some lunch and came down to Buena Vista to our lovely Budget Inn room - I'm actually surprised on how nice it is.  It has a large separate kitchenette, which give us plenty of room with the pups and it's been recently remodeled.  The kitchen and bath are both updated.

Once we got settled (around 6 pm), I ran out to Food Lion and got some stuff for supper.

One little surprise to both of us - I had bought a little lavender sachet to put on Zed's collar to help calm him down in the car and it seemed to work!  We were both really surpised.
