Since the machine shop needed time to turn a chunk of special steel into a spiffy new shaft and we had appointments to keep, we left the service yard and hit the road for a few days. (Bonus – everyone we were going to see has working A/C!)
First stop, Virginia Beach for Uncle Bill’s birthday.
Those are some kissable cheeks!
Yes, yours are cute, too, Bill, and we know it’s your birthday, but little cherub-cheeked Micah over there gleefully awaiting cake has you beat. 😘
No summertime trip to see Bill & Brenda is complete without peeking at the butterfly project, and although we didn’t get to see any adult butterflies this time, the process seems to be going well.
Next up, Chesapeake so Susie could hug her father and we could share a meal for his birthday.
Then we headed to the other side of town to visit Susie’s mother, who is doing terrific two months after getting her new knee! Our son Michael joined us Saturday for game night and ice cream.
And last but not least… Never mind. Sorry. Susie isn’t ready to talk about the final appointment of the trip. (Let’s just say, “we can rebuild her.”)
Hey, Honey, how about that boat repair…?
