We're Outa Here!

We are in the West Palm Beach Airport waiting for our flight to Atlanta and then on to Vegas. Once they said that the hurricane was headed directly to the 7 Mile Bridge, we figured we made the right decision to get out of town early. Things look better for the Keys this morning, but still, we would have had to evacuate tomorrow anyway... We are just going to drive around the desert for a few days, and stay in Laughlin, NV, one of Gabe and Lori's favorite get away from the excitement of Vegas spots. Can't wait to see everyone!

Sue's Views


Labor Day on the way to the Bridgewalk. I know it doesn't beat Walter's picture, but it sure was pretty.

Well we've completed our nonth bridgewalk. This was a perfect day. We had a good parking spot, and completed it in one hour and 10 minutes. The Governor ran it in 38 minutes. That's not bad. Breakfast at the Admiral's Table was as good as usual. Ron's brother, Burce went again. This was his second year. My Rathblog page is a little messed up. I tried to respond to the Gabe and Lori Blog, but I need to fix my sign on I guess. I told everyone that Nancy and I have four hours to get our sister act ready for Vegas. Me-me-me-me...just getting the vocals in shape. They'll be buzzing in the streets when they get a taste of the Rathbun girls. I have a surprise for the girls when we get out there. I hope it makes it through security. I'll just have to take a suitcase. I can't wait. Less than a week now. Yikes!

Such troublesome times on the Rathbun iChat tonight!  Aimee kept losing her voice!  Maybe it was the bandwidth being sucked up by streaming video from 3 other computers.  Or the electrons just too tired to go all the way to Michigan from Alaska!

Let the count-down begin!!!


Lori and Gabe's big day is approaching, and Sally spilled the beans on the Wedding blog, so I added it to the list on the side.
Shawn and I just completed yet another "epic" (How many are you allowed??) bike ride, so it's time to move on to our next big thing, a wedding in Vegas! To prep for the trip, I'm going to try to rent "Lost in America" - a great Albert Brooks movie. I highly recommend it before you make the journey!
And then, gather our "nest egg" for the trip out west. All you high rollers can meet me at the slots, trying to par-lay the egg into some early retirement funds....
See ya soon cats!!

Back from the emerald isle



Just got back from another AMAZING trip to isle royale! What a great place. I've heard its the national park with the most return visitors, and I think I could vouch for that. This is sunrise at three mile campground over some of the islands off the coast. School starts tomorrow, I can't even believe it! I'm not sure whether or not I should be disappointed or excited. Its my last semester, but I haven't even thought about school at all for the past 2 weeks. Its been a great summer. Take care all! Love you!

This is US!  Crossing the Mighty Mac on Sunday morning.  What a ride!  More later!  Love to all!
