This was to be the day we picked up Joya and Tessany from Raleigh-Durham airport. Their flight did not arrive until nearly midnight, so we had the whole day to take care of business, dawdle, cook, clean out the car and write the words you are now reading. While Jody napped and I wrote, Jordan entertained herself by getting into the tent, which had been set up to thoroughly dry, and making balloon animals and reading about various hairstyles -- one of her current passions, since she is intent on cutting her hair soon.
We needed to depart for the airport before 9 PM in order to give us enough time to catch up on email (it had been 3 weeks or more since we could get a reliable net connection) and update the web site. Also, if we were still inside the campground gates at 9, we would get locked in -- not good. So, off we went to the airport. We got there early in order to spend time retrieving email and updating the web site. Jody captured me in the act:
Joya and Tessany's plane came in roughly on time. In the excitement of the reunion, we neglected to take any pictures. Good ol' reliable United managed to leave Tessany's bag in Chicago, so we had to deal with that. They were really thrilled to hear that they needed to get the bag to Ocracoke Island, on the Outer banks of North Carolina. We drove back to camp and listened. The girls were very excited about their experiences over the past 3 weeks, and had lots to tell us. It was great have Joya back and to see Tessany again. With all the catching up, we all got to bed very late, with a long travel day in store. |
