As of about 6:30pm EST, we are officially Ft. Lauderdale residents! The drive itself was fairly uneventful. Scrubs cried a lot and Isaac slept a lot and we made a lot of stops but still made very good time. Believe it or not, two of the stops including running into Philip and Joia heading to see there family down south! What are the chances on a busy road trip of running into great friends two different times?! Not sure, but we did it, and Joia took a picture as proof. We ended up driving with them behind us for two hours. It was nice to have some company.
We are settling into life at my parents' house. My Dad and Mom are so wonderful to let us just bring all our stuff for baby and dog in and make ourselves at home. My Mom had dinner ready, and while JB unpacked the van, my Mom and I took Scrubs to a dogpark a few miles from the house.
We continue to watch both of the storms carefully -- both Gustav which is headed toward the Gulf Coast, and Hannah which is headed this way but still a few days out. We've discussed the possibility of JB returning to base if the storm looks like it may make a direct hit from where we live. We'll continue to see how things are going and of course keep you all posted.
Oh, and it is hot here -- MUCH hotter than life in northern Florida. Geeesh -- is the Polar North stuck in my blood?!

glad you mdae it safely. BOY! IT is hot here, too! Like 104!!!
sorry we keep missing eachother on the phone.
Woohoo! Glad to hear that you made it safe and sound.
Oh goodness keep the heat there, we've had humidity here in VA the past couple of days even though the temps were quite nice in the 80's, go figure.
The more trips you make with Scrubs, he will settle down to the fact that he is in the car for a longer period of time than normal.
Have an awesome time.
