Weathering the Storm

Well, we made it! While on the road yesterday, my dad called to give us a heads up that a system in the Gulf had strengthened into Tropical Storm Claudette. Wonderful. Headed to the beach and lots of rain waiting on us. Well when we finally got here (we had to stop 4 times to feed Baby K and let the dog go to the bathroom - yes it's a family affair for this trip!)....it wasn't raining yet, but the wind had picked up a little bit. When I went to bed, still no storm...just more wind. Well, around midnight it definitely picked up. It was raining like crazy and windy, windy. The wind was whistling in the front entrance to our condo. Well, when we woke up this morning, it's definitely better than last night - pretty steady wind, but not too much, and the occasional rain. Hopefully things will clear off soon so that we can go out there and soak up some sun! For today, I think I hear the outlet mall calling my name :)
