Just a factoid I discovered more by accident than by design: We have been in the tropics. Woo-hoo!
The tropics is an area defined as between the Tropic of Cancer in the northern latitudes, and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern latitudes; both imaginary lines defined by the northern/southernmost position of the sun in it’s respective summer and winter solstice. The imaginary line moves, currently Cancer lies 23° 26′ 16″ N, so during our time at Long Island, we were south of that position.
No wonder it was so hot!! Like a tropical heat wave! 😎

You can stop bragging now! :p
Darn winter doesn’t want to let up here in PA! I think this might be the first full week that feels like spring! Craziness!
Love the pics of the water!

You know you can always come to visit. Ask Andrea about the travel.
