Yesterday Was a Great Day!

I arrived at my son's after an uneventful drive, which is exactly the kind I want to have. They were hit here by the remnants of Hurricane Ike much more severely than our area had been. Even late last night, some of the traffic lights were still out and there is no doubt city workers spent the day clearing debris and trees from roads. Even saw a construction trailer toppled over.

The creeks are really high and my son even had to backtrack to get out of an area he'd driven into less than an hour earlier, but that hour brought over a foot of water on the roadway. I stuck to the major roads though I'd thought about taking the "scenic route" in, but since I didn't know what low-lying areas I might encounter, I'll do that another time.

We went to our favorite mexican restaurant for supper then met a friend of his and her son to see The New Shanghai Circus. It was very good and we enjoyed our evening immensely. I arrived back at my room tired and ready to call it a night. Today promises more fun and adventures.
