Why blog?

Well, as if I didn't have enough to do already, I thought this would be a neat way to chronicle the events that are going on in our lives right now, and hopefully in a few years read back and think, "How the heck did I do that?"

Summer 2012

 This summer we went to Virginia again, by car.  I guess I must be a masochist...
It actually went very well.  I keep my expectations low and realistic, and I wasn't disappointed.  We break up the trip by stopping in Savannah on our way to and from. It's basically an 8 hour drive the first day, and about a 10 hr. drive the next.  We stop about every 4 hours, depending on the condition of the divas.  Anel hates the car trip but loves it when we get there.  Alia and the twins do very well.  Their notion of time is different, so they are not so frustrated when I announce, "Only 10 hours to go!"

We visited our friends and former neighbors and enjoyed our time.  We were there approximately 10 days.  A visit to Georgetown Cupcakes is always in our agenda.  We also had dinner with the Ashurkoffs a couple of times and with the Darrs.  I got to see my friends Lori, Veronica, Jen and their beautiful families.

On our way back, we stopped in Gainesville to spend time with my sister and Tony and picked up Ciara, who usually spends a good part of the summer with us.

It was a good trip, although mentally I really wasn't there.  My mind kept going to my sister and Tony.
