We survived

This week the state of Maryland has experienced an earthquake, a tornado, and a hurricane!

And we survived them all. We were shaken up after the earthquake, literally and figuratively. The tornado happened one night while we were sleeping and we were oblivious to it. And after much fanfare, the hurricane blew by talking only our electricity with it.

Our power was out for about ten hours. Many others, including dad and Laura and boys, were without power for much longer. (In fact, last I talked to dad, he was still powerless.)

But we are all safe, thank heavens!

Family Re(n)union Option

I looked into some housing possibilities here in the springs. This link takes you to Farish, the campgrounds owned by the Academy. It is more expensive than what we were planning on in Washington. Click on the links on the bottom left hand side to see prices and maps of the area. I'll look and see if there are other lodges available...and I'll update this post if I find anything worth reporting on.
