We just got back from a long weekend visiting my brother Alan and his\nfamily in Charlotte, North Carolina. On the way<\/span> down from Ohio where we're\nspending the summer at my folk's, we stopped in West Virginia for some river rafting<\/a>\nand a night<\/span> at the hotel at Pipestem Resort State Park.<\/p>\n\n

In the morning, we opened the curtains to find a friend<\/span> outside...<\/p>\n\n

The hotel had a pool, so we tried out my new Panasonic TS3 waterproof\ncamera. It was too<\/span> dim for good results with this camera (and frankly,\nbeing used to a semi<\/span>-pro SLR, most everything about a point<\/span>-n-shoot is\npainful for me), but someone was able to snap a shot<\/span> of me launching\nAnthony from my shoulders...<\/p>\n\n

After another four or so hours of driving, we finally arrived at Alan and Natalie's house....<\/p>\n\n

Alan had his foot in a cast from some recent surgery, but the rest of us\nwent swimming a couple<\/span> of times over the weekend, and that's where the\ncamera got most of its use...<\/p>\n\n

On the last evening, I went to<\/span> bed but Alan and Anthony stayed up playing games\nuntil the Wii hours of the morning... Anthony didn't come to bed until 2am!.<\/p>\n\n

We'd ended up staying an extra day to visit the pool a second<\/span> time, so\nwe didn't stop on the way back, making the 495 miles in an even eight\nhours.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
