Sorry it has been so long since our last post. We are in Washington DC until Friday so we should have much more stuff to post.
Our visit in Elkhart was again great and started with an unplanned get together at the campground. We made a last min beef stew and visited with friends and family, in the rain….lots of fun. In all fairness I have to also point out that Freeman did cut (deeply) in to my prior winnings on the course.

We had some nice visits with Missy’s dad, Missy had lunch with Mom and Dad Perkins (sorry I missed that). Later we had the truck and fifth wheel serviced, thanks again Marc West and got to visit with TJ, Tristin, Cheryl and Bruce. Our visit concluded with a nice dinner with Kay and Gary.
Off to Philly to enjoy a delicacy we haven’t had since 1988 when we lived there, namely a Philly cheese steak. As we exited the interstate we were both trying to piece together our memories and although much has changed a remarkable amount has remained the same. The first thing we saw when we rounded the exit was the Bennigans that Missy worked at as the dinner cook for her second job. Just up the road was the Naval station (my first duty station) and across the street was a sight for sore eyes, Lees Hoagie House. In our estimation Lee’s is the best Cheese Steak in Philly, many would disagree but it was dinner for tonight. We turned down a familiar street in search of our first and second apartments. The second place we ever lived as a couple is pictured and far less luxurious then we remembered as a young couple. Our first apartment, complete with the screaming drunk couple below us was just as we remembered and although we wanted to get a picture we were sure the nice gentleman selling little bags of goods from his car was not in to the whole “say cheese” thing. Off to dinner, some say you can never go back but I am happy to say that Lee’s was exactly like we remember and still has our vote as the best Cheese Steak in Philly. Amazing walk down memory lane.
The trip to DC was largely uneventful but the Baltimore tunnel was impressive.
Much more to see this week, should have some great pics.

Awww...I can't wait to move away from here then come back to visit Jordan & I's first place together! :)
i do not think Jess had his lucky shorts on that day. i will give you a chance to retake the lead next round.
Well, not to split hairs sparky but one loss doesn't equate to loosing the lead just shrinking it.
Which pair of luck shorts, Gary:)?
