2009 A late start

Well we actually left 5 days ago but I'll try to catch you up.
Tuesday : We left home with about 2" of snow on the ground. By the time we arrived in Woodbridge VA 12 hours later,It was pouring rain and very dark...Traffic was horrific but it was worth it to see the kids.
Wednesday and Thursday: Spent our time bonding with the grandbabies. Britten coerced me into going to Karaoke with her and her boyfriend, Brandon. The bar (Queen's Gambit)was a real dive , but full of character and characters. Brandon and Britten seem to have a lot in common and it's so nice to see her in a happy relationship.
Garrick and Marla's new home is huge and full of possibilities. I can't wait to see what they do with it because they are both such creative people. They also make beautiful babies...Trent and Hunter are both wonderful and full of personality. We loved spending time with them (though Grandpa Pete was pretty tired after playing with Trent.
Friday: Headed south to SOB (South of the Border). The weather was cold but clear. Had dinner at the restaurant and was in bed by 10:30...slept comfortably in our own bed once we warmed up.
Saturday and Sunday: Uneventful until we arrived at the Kingsland KOA and couldn't get the slide out...Actually broke the trim right off the trailer when the weld broke on the mechanism that operates the slide. It was pouring rain and miserable. I asked about a welder at the office and miraculously there was an on duty one here at the park...an extra night here and all will be fixed and we'll head out for Miami.
