We made it!

Well, we didn't have the direct flight that we thought we would. We had to make a stop in Myrtle Beach for refueling while the Thunderbirds finished practicing for the air show in Wilmington. But when we got here, the skies were sunny and it was wonderful to be back in Wilmington again.

We had three days of enjoying Andrea and Chris' company, relaxing, going to the beach, eating out, and generally feeling like we were on vacation. Our condo is still in great shape and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to use it again after a year and a half away. The two flights of stairs were a little challenging, but we minimized the number of trips so it wasn't too bad. We had a lot of good food, good weather, and good company. We even got to have lunch with Chris' parents overlooking the ocean.

We hate to leave, but we have to catch the 5:00 flight tonight and be ready for the stereotactic radiation surgery tomorrow morning. It's hard to believe that at this time tomorrow it will be over. Fortunately this trip has helped to relax me and keep my mind off the upcoming procedure. We'll try to write another update tomorrow to let you know how the procedure goes.

Your trip sounds wonderful.How restful !
I've also read Andrea's link- 6 months already!! Tell her I gained 40 pounds with each of my four , and didn't keep any of the weight till I hit 50.. I guess that's not baby weight gain at that point?!!!
