I was looking through some of my old photos, and decided to post this picture in honor of Charlie's visit to Florida next week.
Starting with the tallest and going counterclockwise: Cheyenne, Ralph, Danny, Charlie, Chris, Melissa, Bobby, and David. 
Its been a long mild winter here in Jersey, and I have been working pretty steadily. The first week in December we had four days of snow and I only missed three days of work. Since then, the temperaure has been between 40 and 50 degress and a few days at 60. Great weather for a Roofer. So its been a long stretch since I first said I will have time off of work to visit Florida. The time is here, this past Monday at work we decided as a crew that we needed time off and away from each other. Two weeks was the final decision, and I started to make plans. I have contacted a few family members and put together our first family Road trip. I am so excited. Danielle, Cassie, and myself will be leaving New Jersey Saturday Febuary 19th. We will start on 195 west into Trenton and change over to 295 south. From there we will connect with 276 west that will take us into PA. While in Pennsyvania, 276 turns into 76 west heading into Harrisburg. From there, we'll connect with 81 south. 81 south will take us through Maryland, Virginia, and into Tennessee. We decided to do the bulk of the driving at night so Cassie will sleep. At 18 months, she has enough energy to power a small city and this trip might be hard for her. So during the following day, we planned a few stops. First is at my brothers Roberts apartment. He said I could use his couch for a power nap while he is entertaing Cassie and Danielle. After lunch, I will hit the road on 81 south heading into Knoxville. 81 south will turn into 40 west. Shortly after I will connect with 75 south. I will take that road all the way into Georgia, passing Atlanta and Macon. In Macon, I will follow directions to my cousin Doreens house were I will spend the night.
Here I will experience some of that famous southern hospatality and recharge my batteries, meanwhile trying to drain Cassie's. Leaving the following day at around 11 a.m., we will reconnect with 75 south heading into Tifton. Here I will try to find 319 south and take that road into Tallahassee, Florida and meet up with Ralph, Lori and the boys at around 6 p.m. They said we could spend the night. Isn't family great. I will spend all day tuesday there and leave in the late evening. Once again, a long drive at night so Cassie can sleep. I will ask Ralph the best way to West Palm Beach, Florida were I will meet up with Cousin Sandi and here family. There will be my final stop for three days and my trip will be in the air. I am hopeing to see as much family as possible on this trip while having some alone time with Danielle. In the mean time we are all doing great in Jersey, counting the days to the Family Reunion. And a quick little side note, I have lost 26 pounds since Thanksgiving, and its been a whole year since I Quit smoking. See you all soon (some sooner) and our love to all.
