It seems like I have been gone more this month than I have been home.? The joys of summer!? The Surprise Family ran away for a little over a week to Baltimore, Washington DC and Virginia.? We had a great time watching some baseball and visiting with some friends.? I took way too many photos to even think about shifting through right now to share (about 1300).?? So here is one I took just minutes after a crazy rain storm at the Lincoln Monument.? Will it ever stop raining?
