Kids are on their vaca

A small cabin in rural Maine. I was invited, but opted not to go.

They got Covid-19 tests, and were negative. I'm hoping they are safe while they get there, safe while they are there, and safe on the drive home. Sounds like they are taking precautions.

They were iffy about going, and decided to go ahead when the infection numbers were lower. And hope they are home before the numbers in the Eastern states start going back up.

Thanks to our Dem governor.

We have a little over 500 active cases and 104 deaths since March.

If your kids stay in the cabin, they should be OK.

I thought it was a safe destination. They are planning to stay at the camp. One of my s-i-l has close relatives in the area. If they see them at all, it'll be outside and socially distant. He and my daughter own the camp, so don't have to worry about if it is sanitized.
