We got our first vaccine shot the day after we arrived back in the US. That started our clock for full vaccination during which time we did, well, not so much.<\/p>\r\n

First things first, the long flights to Maryland, USA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

Once we were fully vaxxed we hit the road to see more of the friends and family we’d been missing so much.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>
First stop Charleston\/Isle of Palms, SC where I was lucky enough to catch the whole Schirf\/Cubello\/Anderson family (and celebrate a certain someone’s big 4-0!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n
\"\"<\/a>
Next up, time with Jon’s family – Natasha, Gene, Mary, Jon and Nick, pictured in the really beautiful gardens in San Antonio, TX on a really hot day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n
\"\"<\/a>
For Nick’s 18th birthday, he got to live the dream, driving a tank just like in one of his favorite games, World of Tanks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n
\"\"<\/a>
Yes, there is a place in Texas where you can pay to drive a tank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>
On our way back to Maryland, we got to see The Professor himself and his lovely partner Terra (sadly not pictured) in Greenville, SC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

That was the end of our first post-vax road trip. We recovered for a bit and then took a much shorter road trip to Deep Creek Lake, MD.<\/p>\r\n

Natty kept watch on us as I realized that tubing as an adult is scary!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

The magical table came with magical to-go Moscow Mules<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

The magical Moscow Mules may or may not have contributed to making this happen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n
\"\"<\/a>
We managed to avoid any major retribution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

In our spare time, we took up disc golf which I like to call frolf even though it annoys actual disc golfers or maybe because it annoys them.<\/p>\r\n

And we also took a trip to Binghamton, NY to visit the one and only Auntie Lorrie and had some fun family time.<\/p>\r\n

We were also lucky to catch up with many other friends in the DC area and Jon managed to fit in plenty of actual golf, unfortunately there is no photographic evidence. We’re still in catching up mode so if we haven’t seen you yet and you’re around let us know!<\/p>\r\n

We left for yet another road trip, one of what will likely be lots, on August 19th. That one was pretty epic so I’ll save it for another post or posts<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
