Smoke on the water

Was planning on going to the beach with Chantel today, but of course with Murphy's Law, the whole town  was covered in smoke. There is a fire south of the city on the Virginia/ North Carolina border in a swamp. You could barely see and it smelled horrible! So we decided to wait a bit and then go to the aquarium. The coolest part of the aquarium was the otter out front which was free to see! A little later Pam and I dropped off Chantel at the airport and she unfortunately has a delay there now. It's weird to see Chantel go because it's like the vacation that I felt like I was on isn't a vacation and it's official. Not sure how I am feeling right now, slightly sad but slightly excited for the change. I'll keep you all updated on how things go tomorrow!!
