Here It Is!!

Michelle set up this blog for us before we went back east for vacation 3 weeks ago and I have not put anything here yet. Not much will get there tonight, but a few words is a start...

We had to be in Washington, DC, for Josh and Amy's wedding on July 25. We decided to go back a week early and fly into Philadelphia. That way we could do some Pennsylvania and DC tourist stuff before the wedding.

We only had a 30 minute layover in Cleveland on the way to Philadelphia so our plane had to be right on schedule. We got lucky! We got off the plane, hurried to another concourse, and got in the end of the line for the plane that was already boarding. We had to go out on on to the tarmac to get on to the plane to go from Cleveland to Philadelphia - it was a puddle jumper!!

Of course, the air conditioning wasn't working on this little plane so while we were sitting on the tarmac waiting to leave, it was warm!!! Our flight to Philadelphia was just over an hour and it took us most of that time to cool off.

Fortunately, the flight went fairly quickly and we got our luggage quickly. On the slightly negative side, the rental car company must have only had one shuttle and the driver was on their dinner break because we watched MANY other shuttles drive by before the one we needed showed up. Our wait was "rewarded" with a bright blue Suburu Forester. We forgot to take a picture, but I will have to find one if only to share the color - you couldn't miss it!!

We got to Pennsylvania - the fun was just about to begin - but that is all for now (at least it is a start)...
