Howie and I finally made to Wheeling, WV after two days of driving. The trip went by without a hitch. Howie was an excellent wingman.
We are staying in Sumac Cabin in Oglebay Park. This is the same one we had when we last gathered two years ago. Needless to say, a ton of memories from our 2004 reunion came flooding back as soon as I walked through the door.
Joining me are my Father and his family, my first cousins Colleen and Shannon (and their families), my Aunt Debbie, and my favorite Aunt Nancy (she asked me to call her that). Many more will be joining throughout the week. Most notably my Mother, Cliff, Ian, and his Fam are arriving Thursday.

Glad to hear that you and Howie made it safely; enjoy the R&R, you deserve it!
Hope you made it home safely. Scratch Howie for me.
One more thing. Deer are plural.
Love,
Dad
