Upstate New York at the Jay's

We had the privilege of spending a weekend at the Jay's home in Dryden, New York. Joe and Judy Jay are some of the most kind and hospital people we've ever met! They opened their home to us and treated us like family! We had a great time visiting with them, enjoying their horses and eating delicious home cooked meals...it was so nice to have a break from the Minnie Winnie!

While Steve was off working with Marsh DeMoulin, I took the kids to a beautiful State Park on Maryland's western shore called Sandy Point.

Good Morning Baltimore!

It was actually, Good Evening Baltimore! After Steve got off work with Marsh, we headed to Baltimore to see the city and have a delicious dinner at the Rusty Scupper. After dinner we took a walk up to a nearby fort on a hill and enjoyed a view of the city!

Ohio and Pennsylvania already are behind us...on to Maryland and Washington D.C.

We left exactly one month ago on August 18th! A milestone for the Winnie! We hit 44,444.4 miles! That means we have gone about 4,500 miles!

We left Michigan and drove to Dayton, Ohio where Steve worked with Bob Grote. Then we immediately drove to Washington, Pennsylvania for Steve to work with Dave Smith for the day. Then immediately after they finished working, we drove to just outside Washington, DC to Millersville, Maryland...Wow! We have done a lot of driving in the last day and a half. While Steve worked today, the kids and I did some grocery shopping and spent some time in Petco looking at the animals. We should have some more exciting news coming up in the next couple of days as we do some exploring in Maryland and our nation's capital. I hope we move into a house when we get back home because after being in Petco today, the kids really want to have animals and they hope to adopt one of Riikka's puppies!

We spent a couple days on Greenfield Lake in Michigan while Dad worked with a rep Dick and caught up on office work.

Sandcastle Fun

Ducks vs. Purdue

The ducks were behind the whole first half, but we cheered them on and they came back in the second half to win after they went into overtime...it was a great game! Steve had a fun time checking out the players braces and seeing Bio Skin braces all over the field on both teams players!

West Lafayette, Indiana

While Steve attended a Pain Management Conference in Nashville, TN, the kids and I went to my brother Cole's house in West Lafayette, IN. My brother Cole and his sweet wife Rachel and their two kids Rella and Giles were excellent hosts! We had a great time getting to know our cousins better and taking a little break from the RV life. My brother Cole is attending Purdue University to get his PHD.
