UPDATED: We arrived safely in Somerset and spoke with the friend staying at our house while we are gone and confirmed that all is well on the home front. We brought food with us for a multitude and had a nice dinner this evening at the home of the boyfriend's aunt near Shanksville. Then we came back into town and had an after dinner drink (or two) with our friends who we see each year for the informal "yah yah brotherhood" reunion. Tomorrow there is a huge antique show in the center of town surrounding the courthouse (pictured below). After that, we will head back out to Shanksville for my father in law's family reunion. Tomorrow evening we will again likely end the day by getting together with Dennis, Douglas, Jon and David for some more catching up. The weather was wonderfully cool this afternoon with temperatures in the low 70's - a wonderful break from yesterday's 98 degrees in Norfolk.
We are headed off this morning to the boyfriend's dual family reunions in the Somerset, Pennsylvania area - his dad's family reunion is tomorrow and his mom's on Sunday. While there we will see our friends Dennis and Douglas (Douglas is the one who lets us use his place in NYC). Tomorrow's event is at a location a mile from the Flight 93 memorial - the boyfriend's aunt heard the plane go down in fact. The photo above is the County Court House which sits on a commanding hilltop location.*
I should have some Internet access over the weekend and I will post as possible. I am definitely hoping for cooler weather after this week's blast furnace temperatures here in Tidewater.
