If it's too hot, get out of the kitchen

and the living room, dining room, and well, heck, the whole state of New Jersey.

Last Monday it was super HOT here and Ben and I practically roasted. So Tuesday morning we packed our bags (17 to be exact) and drove ALL BY OURSELVES to Grandma Marcia's in Pennsylvania. What a delightful respite... central air conditioning, home cooked meals, and plenty of visitors to oogle at Ben. Both Ben and I felt quite liberated taking our first adventure together. Not counting hospital stays, it was Ben's first overnight since March 22nd and my first overnight since January 2nd!
