Jackson, Sawyer, Bosco, Marley& I are safely in South Phili at Liz Cashin's house to wait out the storm. We got to say goodbye to daddy on his boat as they left the harbor. We left Cape May at 5:00 yesterday afternoon ahead of the mandatory evacuation. In the first 90 minutes of the trip we went 18 miles, followed by torrential rain, then coming into Phili in the dark. It was the most stressful 3 hours I have felt in a long time. Liz is a very gracious host, tolerating us and the dogs. She is actually out walking Bosco right now. Bosco has adjusted well to city living, peeing and pooping anywhere. Marley is more particular and requires specific locations and types of vegetation to do his business. As a result, he woke me up at 5:00 AM to go out so I walked them both through South Phili. You'd be surprised how many people are up at 5:00 AM. Jackson slept like a rock on the floor next to me but Sawyer was a much different story. He was wide awake from 1:00 to 4:00 AM - have no idea why, other than in a strange place. Hopefully tonight will be better. I think Liz felt bad for us today and called off work to give us a tour of the city. We rode several city buses and the subway, per the boy's requests. Jason had his boat towed from Cape May to sector Delaware Bay and is here in Phili...somewhere. Haven't seen him yet. Tomorrow the plan is to ride the subway to go see Jason and then get ready for the storm.
