August 5, 2015

This summer has been really different. Jesse and Lori and the girls have moved in with us for an extended period of time. In the spring they will begin in earnest looking for a house. Lori looks now, but they aren't really seriously looking at this time. It's fun having the girls around! It's not too bad, though the house seems really crowded at times. Everybody is working so that makes things a bit better.

Tim and I took an early vacation the end of May. We drove to Baltimore, MD for the night. We walked around the Inner Harbor area which was very nice. We also went to Fort McHenry which was interesting. Then we drove to Chincoteague Island where we stayed for 5 nights. We had an efficiency apartment that wasn't terribly fancy, but we didn't mind. The beach area was beautiful! We took a boat ride around the island to see the wild ponies...they were beautiful! We drove up to Delaware one day and did some antiquing another day. Both of those days were rather dreary. Two days we went to the beach where it was so awesome! Loved it! We ate seafood and walked around the little town. We then drove to Kensington, MD, just outside of Washington DC where we met up with Joe and Ann Marie Campbell. We spent 2 nights with them. They showed us around American University where Joe is a professor and drove around Bethesda Naval Hospital where Ann Marie works. We then went to the WWII memorial, Newseum and Native American Museum. Ate some good food and had a great time.

I'm hoping to go camping at Letchworth State Park in New York sometime in the fall. We'll see!
