I received an email from an old friend the other day. There is going to be a tribute ceremony for Trista on May 28th in DC. Josh and I are going to drive up from Ohio and attend. I can't decide whether or not I should bring Tristan. Would the family want to meet him? Is it too much driving for him to handle? Would it be a bad idea to bring a 7-mo old baby to a ceremony like that? I guess I could just bring a picture, but I see this little scene playing out in my head where I introduce him to Trista's family and he somehow makes them feel better. I look at him and can see Trista sometimes, maybe they would feel the same way. I can't decide what to do. What do you all think?
This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE. We happen to be surrounded by water. The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between. Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights. We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right? Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace. I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that. I at least want a gas stove and water heater! So, anyways. We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

How long is the drive? At 6 months old We drove Ava along with Paris to Chicago with my Mom & sis & it was a long drive. Ava slept almost the entire way. If she wasn't sleeping she was happily jabbering :D Sometimes they will just surprise you! Good luck on making the right decision for you.
