Ok, where to start? Just after arriving back home from living in Baton Rouge for 6 weeks, we immediately turned around and visited Tricia’s parents in Hilton Head. However, this time, we did something different — we took G&G with us! It was Gizmo and Gadget’s first REAL road trip! We drove through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Of course, they’ve been to shows before, but they’ve been retired champions since 8 months (Gadget) and 9 months (Gizmo), so they really haven’t been on any trips for as long as they can remember.
Since Tricia’s parents live near the beach, this picture is of Gizmo, Gadget, and Martine together on the beach. Also, you can click here to see an entire album of pictures from the trip. There are some of Gizmo running around, and a few good shots of them with my new camera (Digital Rebel XSi).
After we got back from that trip, we recovered for a day, and then I started school (my 3rd year in law school). After a few days of school, the whole city had to evacuate because of Hurricane Gustav. However, we had already planned to go to New York for a wedding that weekend, and our flight was supposed to return us last Monday (Labor Day). We decided to go on the trip, and we left Gizmo and Gadget with my parents, who evacuated to Baton Rouge.
We ended up having to stay in New York and Philadelphia for a few days, while Gizmo and Gadget had to rough it in Baton Rouge without any power (or air conditioning). Fortunately, it wasn’t as hot as it could have been, and they managed to stay out of the heat.
Oh! One more thing, and it’s very important — We have a NEW ADDITION. However, you’ll have to check back later to see what (who?) it is.
