Got here

We got here Tuesday and our part of the trip came off without a hitch however Gretchen's didn't quite. We were afraid we might get stuck in Philadelphia because of weather but thankfully we didn't. Poor Gretchen had a rough one. Her step-mom put her on the bus at Hagerstown, MD and it took her to Baltimore and she got stuck there from 10:30 until 5:00, her bus was supposed to leave at 3:25. When it didn't show another girl she met and was traveling with said that it wasn't coming and so Gretchen went to the window to ask and they were like well I guess it isn't running or something. Well Gretchen of course didn't accept that answer and said you have radios why don't you call them and find out what is going on and this was at about 3:40. The bus driver said we are leaving DC right now. The lady told Gretchen that it would take about 40 minutes to get to Baltimore, of course that didn't happen because they hit rush hour. At about 5 they left Baltimore and so by the time she got to Harrisburg it was an hour past her connecting bus to Williamsport. so here Don and I are driving to Harrisburg at 8 pm it took 2 hours to get there and 2 hours to get back so it was a very long day all around. Well we are all here and doing fine so that is the important thing. Unfortunately Timothy can't be here because he is in Iraq and Melissa can't because she just got a job and of course can't take the time off. Oh well. I have to go finish my Christmas shopping so I will update again in a day or so. Love you guys and Merry Christmas!
