________On Tues. Aug. 23
we flew to Philadelphia on our trip to visit Matt and family. We had a good flight and got a car rented to head to NJ. We had crossed into NJ, when the car started to bump like you were going over a mass of rumble strips. Jerry thought it was the road, but checked the rear view mirror and everything looked fine. Then it started again and he wondered if something was wrong with the rental car... After that everything was fine. We then stopped for a sandwich to hear they had had an earthquake. Everyone was all excited about it and so we figured out that was what we had felt in the car. Our first earthquake experience. _____We fished and kayaked the next day. (Matt has some of those pictures on his facebook page.) Liz got called to Des Moines as her Mother is seriously ill. When we fished, Matt stayed behind briefly arranging a flight for Liz. Pop had made a $1 offer for the first one to catch a fish. Sarah got right busy and had the first one. Then without Matt there and Liz without her gloves, who would take the fish off the hook? Grandma had no problem, even though it had been a long time since I had taken a fish off a hook. (And I removed a few more)___I also had to try the kayak. What fun. Though needed a hand from Matt to get up and out of it! That was the hardest part! Liz flew out that afternoon. We're glad we got in a little visit before she had to leave. ____Matt took us to the Aquarium in Camden the next day. It was a great place. The kids got to touch sharks and rays, as well as the other exhibits. Theo is the shark fan, but he had watched 'shark week' too many times to be brave enough to touch. He wanted too and gave it a good try, but just didn't get it done. Marty however was ready to jump in with them! Theo did get a ray touched. (But Theo doesn't like to touch fish either) ____I did cook once, since Liz was gone, on the last night we were there. (Besides she had things thawed and was ready to make something!) The girls were good help. They like to cook and were anxious to see how Grandma did it. What Matt had told them held true, "Grandma doesn't always measure!"____We flew out on Friday and beat the hurricane. The flight was full. Lots of people were getting out before the storm. We enjoyed our trip, but it's always good to be home.
