A different kind of trip to OC

How fast can one year fly by... 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months.... it's time for our annual vacation to Ocean City, MD. It's a trip we make almost every year for the past 7-10 years. And every year it is different with new people... some people return and others don't. And every year we have new vacationers join us (Rick & Janie and family and of course Evan) But the core folks who have always made this trip for the past 7-10 years have been my brothers. My parents didn't make it in 2003; I didn't go in 1997 or 1999; but Joseph & Joel have always made the trip. Except this year.... this year Joseph and his wife Tanya were unable to make it... what does that mean... Dan and I can not help but wonder how Joseph's absence will be felt.... off the top of my head: who will make the 'tee' times; who will shuck the crabs for me so I don't have to work for the meat; and most importantly.... WHO will dominate in Lazer Tag? We'll miss you Joe.... the trip will not be the same.

It's time to pack... but I first want to remind you all to vote for the QTest (cutest ) baby--- Evan = qtest282..... Here's a reminder how cute he is and to vote for him. We'll be away when they announce the winner next Saturday... but you have until midnight on Thursday Aug 23 to email your vote (feel free to vote more than once).
