I went apple picking over the weekend with my best friend and her family – but the cool part was that we did it with her son! See, Christine and I have known each other since we were born, our parents being best friends. Growing up together we did all sorts of fun things – apple picking, Christmas tree hunting, maple sugaring and countless trips to area museums. Well now we are all grown up and she has a son of her own. Doing these things together again makes me feel connected to our tradition. So, in short of it, it was cool – and Jack is quite the apple picker for a 10 month old.

Had a slightly damp, althought enjoyable weekend at Camp Henlopen. I did learn a few things however:
1) Don't be hungry in the town of Lewes between 3 and 5 - none of the restaraunts are serving.
2) I will not open a Wilminton Bank account if I ever move to Deleware - a mean lady yelled at us for no reason!!! (actually the reason was we pulled into the bank parking lot because there was no sign and we couldn't park there)
3) A DQ Brazier is a Dairy Queen with a grill.
4) Box of wine is a wonderful thing at a campsite
5) Propane gas can make a 3 hour car ride very stinky if not enclosed
