East Coast Vacay

Madyson and I have just returned from a whirlwind trip back east. As you can see from the post below, the trip out was a little frustrating, however, once we got back to mom's house we were both in great spirits! Madyson stayed up until about 7pm and was ready for bed. Who could blame her, she had a very long day that began at 0430!

The next day we drove up to Maryland to visit with Dad and Sharon. Madyson even got to meet one of her uncles, David, for the first time. They got along great!



Both Madyson and I were pretty jet lagged. Madyson napped quite a bit while I relaxed on the couch. It rained most of the time we were there with some great thunderstorms at night. They did not seem to phase Madyson and she slept pretty good through the night, until about 0330 where she didn't go back to bed until around 0500 or so. Rough!

Once we left Maryland, we headed back to mom's to take a rest from driving and stayed the night. The next day we drove down to Norfolk to visit with Paw Paw and Grandma Marlene. Madyson had a great time visiting and loved the carrots they fed her!





After Norfolk we headed back to mom's where we would stay for the remainder of our visit. Madyson still had a lot of people to meet! She met another one of her uncles, Kenneth. They both seem to share a fondness for electronics.




We went up to Georgetown to visit with a friend of mine, Meredith. Madyson got to meet her and her two beautiful children, Nattie and Jakob!





We also went over to Dottie and Willie's for some crabs!!!! Now this was a treat as I thought we weren't going to have crabs until Saturday's picnic, but we had them on 3 separate occasions!





Madyson also met Mitch, Pat, Cindi, Sheri, Sean, Brad, Brandon, Jenny, Brian, Hayley, Hudson, Claire, Elaine, Beth, Susan, Jenny, David, Dylan, Nathan, Kimmie, William, Avery, gosh, she met almost the whole family and then some!





It was a very tiring, yet awesome trip! Definitely good to see everyone!! We missed visiting with a few people as we ran out of time, but hope to make the rounds again in the fall. I definitely miss being back in Virignia, but I was ready to be home with Kevin and Shaye and to have a good night's sleep in my own bed. I am looking forward to Christmas!
