Maryland Trip 2012

..... We had a great road trip to Baltimore! Okay it rained like crazy what seemed like the whole time! At first we followed tropical storm? Beryl, then went through and had clear sailing until we hit rush hour and Beryl caught back up with us! Rained until 8:30 when we got to the Ramada. Finally! We got to see Mom and Dad Abels the next day with Joanne and Lindsay. Ray didn't get the ucky soft crab sandwich until the Double TT Diner later on. : ) The night before we left Joanne had everyone over so we could socialize. Lindsay was off to the beach but we still got to see Orem Jr. and Heidi plus Mom and Dad A. plus Joanne and hubby Rick. =============================== Gator really enjoyed the attention and was particularly interested in the 9-year-old pet bunny,Snickers. ..Flower smellin' Gator. The Abels Family Weird fuzzy plant. Ray and Gator watch TV at the HoJo's. Ray and his older brother Orem. ..... Ray's lovely sister Jo and fun niece Lindsay..... .... Siblings .... Gator checks out the sleeping accommodations. We had the opportunity to meet up with an old room mate and fire fighter buddy of Ray's, John. They had a nice time catching up. Hopefully we will be able to connect with more of Ray's old buddies next visit as John knows where quite a few of them are. : )
