Back Home in the First State!

After 3 states in 2 weeks, Aeraci and I made it back home last week. We had a great time on our trip. We started out in Virginia, visiting Mamaw and Papaw for 3 days. We had a great time. Papaw took us to New Market where we saw the Battle of New Market reenactment. I have always wanted to see a civil war reenactment, and it was not disappointing. It was truly a piece of American history. Aeraci had a great time with Kaylin, and wow how he has grown; he is such a sweet little guy, and what a helper at one year old!
After 3 days in Virgina, we parted ways as Aaron went off to Charleston for training, and Aeraci and I headed off to North Carolina to see Lara and Jack Porter. We spent 6 days with our friends and had a wonderful time. Aaron drove up from Charleston and joined us for 3 of the six days. Jack Porter and Aeraci had so much fun together! It had been 4 months since they had last seen each other, but they did not take long familiarizing themselves with each other. It was so funny, Jack Porter literally ran circles around Aeraci.
As if two states were not enough to visit, Aeraci and I decided to follow Aaron back to Charleston for 2 days. We had a great time exploring Charleston. We saw the famous Rainbow Row, cobblestone streets and ended our trip with food poisoning. I think it was from the seafood restaurant we ate at Tuesday night.
Aeraci and I pulled into town Wednesday night and only had one day to relax before Breanne, Mom and her friend Pam arrived from the long road trip from Washington State; which was followed by a busy weekend of seeing the sights of Delaware. Pam flew back to Washington yesterday and things are getting back to a new way of normal. Breanne is staying with me for a couple weeks while house hunting, and mom is going to be here for several months as she will have a hip replacement and will stay through her recovery.
