A record of the silliness and sometimes utter chaos.

Pennsylvania

So here I sit in the midst of a very humid summer in Pennsylvania. I am visiting a very dear friend of mine and brought my kids with me. My original plan was to stay a week but we are working on my second week here, with one more week planned out here. My friend and I have had so much catching up to do and missed each other so much that one week simply wasn't enough.

This is my first visit to the east coast and it is definitely different from any other place I've been. I grew up on the west coast, lived in the mid west and even on a tropical island, but had never been east of Missouri until recently. I like it back here. It's very green and there's a huge diversity of people. The roads are confusing as all heck because none of them are straight, except maybe some of the inner city roads.

My kids have been having a blast playing with my friend's kids. The three year olds fight pretty often, the five year old gets them into stuff that the three year olds could usually only dream of getting into, and the baby crawls all around the house eating things she finds on the floor. It definitely feels like summer vacation.
