Day 271: Day 1 of “Roommate Week 2010!” Pumpkin carving! You'll see above, that the pumpkins very adequately summarized our household...We've got "Vote Nov. 2nd (Kelly), American Flag (yours truly), Clover (Go Irish--Dominique), a droid (yea...Lauren), and a high heel (Ashley)...Apparently this is all we needed to do to meet our neighbors, suddenly they were complimenting our pumpkins and we’ve lived here all summer without meeting them! Don’t worry about those nasty squirrels w
e have, Ash and Kelly concocted some poisonous brew that we poured over them. We haven’t had any problems.Day 270: Columbus Day! Apple picking may be all that I remember it to be, but it still was an enjoyable adventure with Rachel!
Day 269: Kind of a spur of the moment trip to Annapolis with Javy today. I’m not one to crave Oreo’s, but once I start eating them, it’s hard to stop…Perhaps it is good we did not venture into this place!
Day 268: Today I had the day completely to myself with no idea of what to do. I spent the morning trying decide, before I finally gave up and just got into the car. I had my GPS and National Parks passport and just star
ted to drive. I ended up cruising down 295 into the foothills of Maryland, where suddenly I found myself driving up through the trees and the hills that I normally only see from a distance. On the other side was a sunny valley through fields, farmhouses, and dusty roads spotted with the brown and white signs indicating Civil War battle movements. My final destination was Antietam battlefield, the sight of 
the bloodiest day in American history. In less than 24 hours, there were 23,000 Union and Confederate casualties, and this was only in 1862, three long years before 
the war would come to an end. Day 267: Civil War Memorial in the hills of MD (Left)
Day 265: Homemade pizza. YUM
