The Great Blackout of 2006

I am writing this on the laptop from our hotel room (using Wi-Free or WiFi). We have been without power since Wednesday at 12noon.

After returning from the Pinewood pool Wed. we quickly packed to stay in a hotel, grabbing essentials like contact lens stuff, bathing suits, laptop, DVD, cell phone charger, and microwave popcorn- then realizing much too late that we only had one regular diaper (worked out OK- I went back home the next day for more). It was worse then we thought and it turns out about 8400 homes in Bucks are still out of power. Wed. night the first few hotels we tried were booked but we wound up finding one with a nice outdoor pool and playground so we are making the best of weathering out the storm. ;-) Skyler had fun playing with the lightswitches (because he could reach them unlike at home) and hiding in the curtains.
