Travel
Justin had a very good birthday with lots of presents! Here he is on his new scooter, and his brother is going to try out the new roller skates. Justin had them on in the house and it was difficult to keep from falling even on the carpet.
We had a great meal and then cake outdoors.
Stephanie, Ara, and Katy.
Ara, Joshua and Stephanie helped me pack up the car for travel.
Ara, Stephanie & I left in my car on Monday morning for Philadelphia. It drizzled rain much of the way, but we arrived to find a little better weather. My car is parked several blocks away and it is really difficult to find free (unmetered) parking, so walking a little is pretty much a necessity.
I've spent some time in Philadelphia now and will try to write about that and post some pictures tomorrow. What a great time I've had!

On Sunday I attended another birthday party for Justin, this one for his school friends. We all met at a roller rink in Hyde Park, and the kids skated along with any adults who wanted to try it. Adults could walk along with their kids who...
- In Virginia
I was pretty tired when I arrived at the motel in Virginia at 5:30 pm. Traffic wasn't easy today, and though I got off to a decent start about 10:30 this morning, it seems the scenic byways are about as crowded as I-95. I'd still take...
- Anxious To Get Going!
The first thing I did this morning was laundry, including the bed linens. It's all hang drying in the sun, and I just have to remember to go get it before dark! I drove to Costco for gas ($3.59/gal) and then went into the store for a few additional...
