Annapolis Recap

A quick explanation... I haven't been able to blog for awhile because my computer has been packed away while we've done the nomad-thing.  I thought it wiser to take an hiatus instead of switching pictures back and forth to different computers and eventually losing some in the mix.  It's easier for me to just keep things simple. And simple means pictures in one place.  And that delay translates into "Recaps" instead of long, drawn out stories.

It was great to be in Annapolis.  It was even better to reconnect with friends.  We got to see a lot of people and I could just kick myself for not getting more pictures of that - the important stuff. But aside from that we also did some other note-worthy things.

A large chunk of our time was also spent driving into DC to look at potential rental places for our next chapter in life.  This was somewhat laborious.  We would drag all the kids around checking out homes - as if house shopping in-and-of itself isn't bad enough.  But I have to be honest.  It was cool having the kids along. They came up with great reasons to like or dislike places.  And we also found ourselves sidetracked periodically...

Incidentally, this is our new playground!  The house we chose is just about 5 houses down from this great park.  But more about that in a future post :)

We had such a great time in Annapolis.  Seeing familiar faces, spending sweet time in fellowship with friends and being back at Annapolis EP - we are so thankful we have such treasured relationships in so many realms.  And we're even more delighted that we're now just 20 minutes away!
