Getting Ready to Travel
Friday afternoon, I'm meeting John in Williamsburg, VA. The bad weather sweeping the country is headed here including VA and the entire east coast. We'll find places to see and things to do along the way, no matter what the weather. The film San Andreas opens on Friday and we hope to see it among other iconic sites that are indoors or we can drive by and get out to explore. My friend Anna will be looking after things here at home and George will post on my blogs.
