Time With Family

Dave and I are now enjoying the last night of our vacation. One of the nice things about this trip is that we've gotten to visit with several members of my family.

We started by visiting my brother and his wife in Erie, Pennsylvania. We got there just in time to see them before they drove up to their new home in Portland, Maine.

Then, we visited my nephew, Christian, in Norwich, Connecticut. We conned him into attending a drum corps show with us. He got to say hello to Joshua after the show. Joshua couldn't talk long, however, because he wanted to get through the supper line before all the food disappeared.

Finally, we visited Mom and Paul in Leola, Pennsylvania. It's been several months since we've seen them, so it was nice to stay over for a night. We will be coming back to see them again in late August.

Overall, even though we spent approximately half of our vacation working very hard, it's been an enjoyable time. But it's time to go home now - Dave and I have seen enough drum corps shows in the past two weeks - seven - to last us awhile. We'll get our next fix in August when we start helping the Oakton Marching Cougars prepare for their fall marching band season. We'd better get plenty of rest before then.
