We had a great time visiting my family in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois. In Tennessee, we got to meet our new nephew Julian and even got to hold him in the NICU. His older brother Lucien is getting to be so independent. We also got to spend time with niece Katie in both Kentucky and Illinois.
Caroline and I had a wonderful time camping at the Philpott Lake Campground near Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia in late October. It was very cold, with temperatures at night getting to around freezing. We built a wonderful fire with the help of some fellow campers, and cooked some tasty meals on the camp stove. During the day we geocached and hiked, and generally had a great time.
