Home Again

We took seven nights to travel home from Florida, and arrived last night. After our trip to Savannah we moved on to Charlottesville, VA. Here we have a picture of the blue ridge mountains off in the distance.

From Charlottesville we crossed Pennsylvania, spending the night near Scranton, in a place called Dunmore. On Friday we made it to Massachusetts, making a detour to Northhampton to visit a huge yarn store with a knitting friend, Nancy DiRocco.

Here is a picture of just a small part of this giant yarn warehouse.

Nancy, Louise, and Gary went to lunch in a near-by diner. Then it was off to Sudbury to visit Bob and Gina and the kids. We stayed there two nights to have some time with the kids, and to avoid another snowstorm at home.

This is a cute picture of little Alex, who is growing like a weed.
Bridget had fun with the visit from her grandparents, which was happening at the same time that her Uncle Matt was there. Quite a family reunion.

Here is Bridget having a snack in one of her two new basement rooms.

Here is a picture of Matt when we went out to lunch at Bertuccis. He always makes the nicest faces for the camera!

Here is another picture of Alex, who is going to be walking soon!
We left Bob's and started the end of the ride - back to Maine. We stopped in Portland to visit Jon and Erin and Emily.

Here is Emily, dancing in the new sweater Grammy knit for her. This is sweater #5 for the year.

Here is Grampy and Emily having a conversation.
Finally we decided the time had come to make the final leg of the trip. As we drove north we saw more snow beside the road. After we got off I-95 the snow banks were pretty high. We came home to a ton of snow.

The only high point of this was a nice welcome. Andy was there, had turned up the heat, and cleaned up the house. Dinner was waiting in the fridge thanks to Jackie. What more could you ask for? Maybe less snow.......
