A long drive to Viriginia...but a wonderful visit

We took a long weekend and drove to Williamsburg, Virginia to visit with my sister Sharon & her family. A conference for my brother-in-law brought them all the way from Seattle! It was crazy with all the kids but ALWAYS entertaining!

We have been blessed with a beautiful family.

On our last night, as soon as we returned to the hotel to pack (at 10:30pm) everything went black. For blocks around, electricity was out and didn't return til around 1:00am. It was a rough night! (the lights that you do see are fire & electrical trucks)
