... left the parking the garage the rain started up again. After getting stuck in traffic 3 different times we arrived at Shenandoah National Park around 5 pm. We spent the evening sleeping in the back of the Volvo in a normal campsite.

... br>For those of you who do not know me, I am very fortunate to have travelled to many wonderful places in the world, and I look forward to revisiting some of those, and also discovering new places. <br><br>This trip will be the final leg of my Round-the-World trip which I started in Johannesburg in January. I had 20 segments on this ticket, and have 5 left to use (Boston to London is a separate ticket). This will also be my first visit to the Middle East.<br><br>T.<br><br>

... mom's home made waffles and drinking a hot (now luke warm) coffee poured over ice that you drove 8 miles to get. The most walking I do now is from the upstairs to the downstairs.<br><br>I do not think I will miss Boston per say, but already have withdrawals from its bountiful harvest: fresh baked sprouted wheat sandwiches with homemade hummus, sprouts, carrots, lettuce, cucumber, onion and a curried ginger vinaigrette ...

Last night at work... tears at the edge of my eyes all night. A gift from Maria... a hug from Andy, breakfast with my girls and a new shiny ring... going to miss the people who have begun to form me into the nurse i want to become... ive been blessed to see these amazing icu-ers in action and have them show me by example what compassion is, what knowledge is, and at 3am and Dr. Weinstock has to be called... what bravery is.

It took the kids less than ten minutes to start asking to go swimming ... so away they went.<br><br>The clouds parted for a little while Monday night and we got a chance to enjoy the moon reflecting off the lake and the stars over head. It was a beautiful night.<br><br>Tuesday found the kids back in water early. Four of the teens ...

After lunch in New Haven, we're off to visit the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Unfortunately, we got there at 4:00pm just as they were about to close. I just got some souvenirs and we had some ice cream before leaving for Chiqui's house in CT. Chiqui cooked the Alaskan King Crab legs for dinner, maybe the best crab I've ever tasted!<br>

... was awesome! It took a few seconds for us to open the awning, throw a blanket on the ground and grab some chairs. <br><br>After lunch we headed our separate ways. When we got home, Sami had no problem backing the camper into our driveway! We removed everything, did what minor clean up was left and the camper was re-packed and ready for our next trip!

... we arrived at the park, the kids immediately took off to get in line for their favorite rides while we headed off to the water park to get ourselves situated for the day.<br><br>We spent a fun filled day, stopped at Nicky's for pizza on our way back to the campground and returned to Sodom Mountain for a campfire and s'mores.

I've spent the last week or so packing and re-packing the camper trying to find just the right place for everything. I am sure after we use it a few times, I will be rearranging it again!<br><br>We left to meet Don &amp; Steph at Exit 22 of the Thruway and will following them across the Mass Pike into Massachusetts and to our campground.
