Family reunion

Hi All, sorry for the time between posts.

We gathered in Winchester Va at my sister Kathy's house for a family reunion. Originally we were to meet and see David and Julie, who are currently serving in the Army, but as the Army would have it, they got other duty and could not make it. But.......we had a good time seeing all of our immediate family and shared good stories and memories of David and Julie. Hopefully they will be able to visit over Labor Day weekend somewhere and we may travel off route if it makes sense and is affordable in our trip timetable. On our reunion dockett was a birthday cake to Chrissy-Ann who turned xx? but can now collect SS checks........?xzxx!3!!!

It was good to see everyone again and thanks to everyone who traveled to see us and family for the weekend. Food and fun was too good, I think I gained more pounds than I lost hiking those 100+ miles on the AT. Will just have to bike them off coming up in June. Kathy's new house is great and we found that just a mile up the road the AT crosses and they are building a new shelter. We did a short walk up to check it out, nice section of trail. We'll have to stop here next year when we complete the Hot Springs NC to Harpers Ferry section of the AT next summer.

We leave for West Virginia and Yokum's vacationland next, sounds a bit like the Li'l abner cartoon mixed with some Beverly Hillbillies, but the website says they have wifi and modern accomodations, we'll see......
