We're Back!

We just got back from a great week-long trip to Washington DC, and it's great to see that all of our trees now have leaves. We got a tour of the White House on Friday and had other great stops earlier in the week such as the Holocaust Museum and the Capitol.

Today was a great day for a 5-hour drive home from PA, with sunny skies and temps around 70 the whole drive from PA. On Friday we drove from DC to PA, to stay with friends and it took us 5 hours as well. We really had great weather all week except for one rainy day, last Wed.

Now, a storm will come up the coast and graze us with some light rain tomorrow. Then, a second storm will come and give us a tad more rain Monday and Tuesday. However, it won't be raining the whole time and none of the rain will be too heavy.

Severe weather: While I was in DC, I heard that many severe thunderstorms crossed the region on Thursday. According to a friend JP did not get a direct hit, but hail and lightning strikes were reported as close as Cambridge. And many places to the south of the city had downpours and 2 inch hailstones along with 60 MPH winds. It looked like a blizzard from the hail, and some car windows were smashed. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
