Visiting the Northeast
My friend Craig and Dan's good friend Aaron lives in Providence, RI - just a quick 3 hour drive from our house. We decided to visit them both and tour the historic city for the weekend. The trip duration was extended by 1/2 an hour each way, both times by traffic. Apparently that's not an unusual occurance. While we were there we had some amazing weather, from crystal clear skies to tremendous downpours complete with thunder and lightening.

The next morning was clear and bright, so we took a quick trip to the ocean. It was a nice drive and good company. The Atlantic ain't got nothing on the Pacific though!
