Trip to Virginia and Washington D.C.

Over the past several weeks, Jerry and I have been discussing taking a vacation after a long year of illness and 6 months of chemo therapy. Jerry's sister invited us to go on a cruise with her and her husband to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Unfortunately, the ship leaves of Feb 21st thru Feb 28th. Jerry is planning to go back to work the third week of February. One of his employees will be taking a FMLA (family medical leave of absense) for 6 weeks and he fell like he'll need to be there more than the two (2) days he is currently working on disability, right now. So since we are not able to take the cruise, Jerry and I talked about making a trip to Virginia and Washington D.C. to visit my niece Katrina, Jerry (her husband), my great nephew Justice, great niece Harmony and their exchange student, Ivy, from China. Our trip is planned for leaving January 28th (the day before Jerry's 67th birthday). We are also hoping to opportunities to visit with Jerry's niece Christy (Silver Springs, MD) and Meagan and Nick Lepire (Virginia Beach, VA), as well as, a long time family friend Harry Clark (Alexandria, VA).


Really looking forward to this trip, I am looking forward to Jerry visiting my birthplace along with the magnificent Washington DC, particularly a week after such an historic inauguration.
