Soon after returning home from teaching in Asia, most of us were in a rented car off to PA, VA and MD on official furlough business which included a reunion with Steve's father! The trip started later and ended sooner than
we hoped—which meant we hit the ground running hard every day to keep on schedule.Nevertheless, we were grateful to see some friends, supporters and family on this five day trip all the way to the Blue Ridge mountains and back. We were reunited with the Montoyas, our CDTS classmates, fresh from their work around the world, who graciously returned one of our suitcases we had left behind in Perth. Thanks again!
While visiting them in Charlottesville, VA, we celebrated Steve's 43rd birthday. We also wedged in a few hours here and there to take in a some sights along t
he way, including the wonderful view from the Skyline Drive and an impromptu dinner in Times Square. And our twenty minutes in our Nation's capitol has whet our appetite to return someday when we have more time to enjoy the museums and monuments more fully. Drive-by shootings just don't quite satisfy.
It was great to see my dad, his wife, my sister and her daughter after almost two years. It was a short but sweet family reunion.
