Chillin' in the east

Our week in So. Cal went past so fast as we had so many people we wanted to catch up with and so many other errands to run - banking, shopping, etc. Though supposedly a holiday (and fun), we were so busy and often tired at the end of each day.

We flew over to the east here yesterday. Got into Maryland last evening where Brian's mom is but will travel to Yorktown, Virginia tomorrow to spend a few days with Brian's dad. After Virginia, we will travel back here to Hampstead for chill time and finally Thanksgiving. It's much colder here than in So. Cal. but the chill is a wonderful change. Today, we woke up to a beautiful sunny morning as the pretty fall-colored leaves glisten. I am feeling much better and am beginning to finally enjoy our break especially now that we are in the east.


Brian has been catching up on football on tv (Redskins - his team is playing now) and I'm doing last-minute shopping for friends on Amazon to capitalize on the domestic free-shipping.


This evening we will have Steve's famous smoked turkey for dinner - always a highlight of our visit here! I'll leave you meanwhile with some pictures I took of trees behind the house here...
