Floyd Trip - August 2009

The whole family, including Leo, our newly adopted Labrador Retriever, headed down to Floyd, Virginia to visit with Karl & Jane's family at the farm, especially new baby Orion. The weather allowed for plenty of water play and Karl provided some great meals. Leo got a chance to hang out with 4 other dogs and exercise his in-bred swimming skills. The kids enjoyed experiencing all the animals and found plenty of spaces to explore.

After a quick tour of Old San Juan, we drove the the northwest part of the island, to stay at a beach resort near Isabela.

Barack Obama Presidential Inauguration - January 2009

We attended the inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009. We left before dawn to catch the bus to travel downtown. Using Julia's office (where a party was held) as a base, we visited the Mall to see the crowds (and Judd and Clay stayed through the swearing-in portion of the ceremony) and then watched the parade from windows in the office.
