Downtown Roanoke

This past weekend, my mom came to visit me at school.  Friday night after my swim practice, she took me and a friend out to dinner.  We went to this new Italian restaurant in the new shopping center on main street.  It was very good!  After dinner, we went to the grocery to stock up on a little food and then I went back to my mom's hotel and spend the night.  After my practice saturday morning, my mother and I drove to Roanoke and went to the downtown "center in the square area". It was so cute! We did a little shopping and then ate lunch outdoors at one of the many adorable restaurants to choose from.  We also discovered a great museum and got the schedule for the Roanoke Ballet performances. I was so excited to know a little bit bigger town with lots to do was so close to Blacksburg. I hope to be able to visit Roanoke more in the future!
