April 99: Karl, Wendy, and Logan move from central Alabama to sunny Florida to get back to the coast...
And to spend more time at Disney World.
September 2005: Florida is getting a little old and a lot hot so we pack up (now with younger siblings Hailey and Corbin in tow) to Ashburn, VA, a suburb of Washington DC. Most weekends were spent touring the city, a good time was had by all, but no matter how many architectural wonders or marvels of modern democracy to which we exposed the kids...
...nothing really excited them more than riding the metro. 
November 2005: 8 weeks!? Are you kidding me!?!? I packed up the whole house and moved halfway up the eastern seaboard for 8 weeks? The job was cut short so we moved back home from what basically amounted to a two month paid vacation in our capital city with a new appreciation for the friends and family that we missed while away from Florida.
November 2006-May 2007: Karl took a 6 month assignment in Annapolis, MD… alone. We made do by video conferencing each night via webcams on our PCs. I also flew back every two weekends for some hugs, but if I ever missed one you didn’t want to be around me on that third week. The happiest time of the whole excursion was when Wendy made it up for the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. Good times.
July 2007: Time again for a change. Packed up the family once again for another interstate move, this time leaving the Hurricane Alley that is coastal Florida for the lake effect snow bands of Western NY. Because we don’t know that we will be here past 12 months, we are trying to take in as much of the area as possible. Of course one of our first excursions was to Niagara Falls.
We also did some apple picking at one of the local farms.

Our most recent outing was to an indoor water park in Erie, PA. I must say that it was very strange stepping onto a waterslide, while it’s snowing outside and I could see icicles hanging from the tubes as they passed from inside to outside before dumping you back indoors.
So now that we’re all caught up, we’ll try to keep you up to date on all our future adventures.
