You know you are old when......

Hello All,
Life is a adventure and the best part is not the destination it is the journey itself!  We have had a great tour of the East Coast to see some colleges that Trevor is interested in applying to.  Out of the 8 that we have seen, only 1 has been eliminated from the list.  All were amazing, but, as a friend recently said who went through the same process, we could just about start giving the tours because:  our school has the best program, the best food, the best financial aid, etc, etc!   The tours all kind of blend together now and have many similarities.  But, I am praying that he will apply and get accepted to one where he wants to be.

We are in NJ now, where I grew up.  My sister and I drove down to the house where we used to live.  Here is a picture of us in front of it.  Everything seems a bit smaller, not sure why!

 

 

We also got to go to the beach.  You know those games about "find the one that doesn't belong?"  Well, you could spot us from a mile away.  We live very near the equator in Africa yet we are the whitest whites on the beach!  We had a blast using the boogie boards but got a little too much sun - you would think that 3 coats of sunscreen would do it!

 

We were in Connecticut last week and got to stay with some very good friends.  Thank you again Wegiel's for the wonderful time!  We went down to the Nautilus to show the kids what a submarine is like.  It was the first nuclear powered sub and is now a museum.  You know you are getting old when parts from the sub you used to work on are now in a museum!  We were standing at one of the control panels, and Jim said, "This looks familiar."  We turned around and saw the name plate that said it was from one of the submarines he was on.  Now we can legitimately tease him!

Trevor and me

Trevor and me (14 years ago)! 

He has grown and I think I have gotten a bit older.

 

Going through NY was a treat (and frustrating).  We couldn't pass through without seeing the statue of Liberty.  It took us an extra 2 hours we figure but it was worth it. 

 

 

Heading out to Michigan tomorrow (Garmin says 11.5 hours - factor in the kids and make it 13 without sanity coming out the other end)!  We plan to do the 50 lb shuffle next Tuesday with at least 11 bags and head out on Wed.  Please pray for us for travel (and sanity). 

Great photo of the moon this week!

Thank you all for what you do!

In His Hands,
Jullie T.
