Hi everyone,
I know it has been almost a year since I have blogged and I am apologizing for my laziness. Jack and I were driving to dinner after the Hydroplane races on Sunset Lake in Wildwood, NJ and he told me he thought I should start blogging again and catch you all up. I kept thinking all day about sitting down to catch you up and tonight I thought what better time to start.
We spent last winter in New Smyrna Beach, Florida and loved it so much we are going back this year. We had a great campground with lots of activities and the town is very active, great beaches and only 15 miles from Daytona Beach so if we want a bigger city we just have to jump on 95 or Route 1. We spent most of our time there with our friends, Sis and Ken Deshong. Sis and I have been friends since we were little girls and I won't mention how many years ago we met.
We had a lovely Christmas with Ken and Sis and her son Scott and his family. Was so much fun to get to know is wife and family. Was a really great year for catching up with Sis' family. We spent 3 days with her daughter Ann and her family in Washington state last August.
We were going to stay for just under 2 months but we liked the area so much we extended our stay to include February. We visited the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canavaral, went to see the manatees and watched a satellite launch one night. We also found some great places to eat and enjoyed a beautiful beach. Jack will be posting some pictures but that may take a while for him to catch up.
We were going to stay another month but we had to leave in early March so we could get back to NJ to spend some time with our cousin Michael before he passed away. We are so thankful that we were able to be there with him. In May Erin and Scott came and spent their vacation with us. They were able to get a weekend in NYC and two days in Philadelphia also. We went to Atlantic City over night and showed Scott a bit of the East Coast. This was his first trip east and hopefully he enjoyed it. We had a huge party at Dotsie's for all the family and friends that hadn't seen Erin in years and they all got to check Scott out. I think that went well.
We really spent all of the rest of spring and most of summer in NJ with family. Jack did a number on his neck and shoulder and had to have physical therapy so we didn't do our summer trip. We did do two weeks in Gettysburg. That was fun. The town is a pretty little historic town and that area of Pennsylvania is lovely. We had great weather and spent one day in Hershey visiting Hershey chocolate.
Well that took us through the end of July and you will have to check back in a few days to hear the rest of our story.
Mary and Jack
