A quiet house, at last.

With John still gone, Anna and I decided to go on a 2-week adventure to visit Anna's cousin Laela in South Carolina. It was nice to get out of Washington during the "dark ages", but we didn't find a whole lot of relief from the weather in S.C. In fact, I think it was colder down there for a majority of our trip than it was up here. A week and a half into our two-week visit Anna finally passed out from exhaustion one afternoon. I decided right then and there that we need to get ourselves a bean bag, or what I like to call, the magic sleeping pill.
