We made the 14 hour drive to South Carolina yesterday and spent the night in a hotel until our apartment was ready today. Who would have thought that by going 800 miles north the temperatures would get 5 to 10 degrees hotter? At least I don’t have to worry about losing my heat acclimation (is that a word?)

When Jeff takes these assignments we never know what kind of housing we’re going to get. Sometimes it’s nice, sometimes not so good. This place is a keeper. We’re on the second floor of an apartment complex. There’s no one below us but another family lives above us. They must like their air conditioning because we don’t run ours all day long. If we keep the doors shut and the ceiling fans on, the place stays quite cool. I even catch Jaimie sneaking the patio door open to let in a little heat.
