After a mad dash to the expo after hitting a lot of traffic we got there with 30 min to spare. Lots of stuff discounted as they were getting ready to shut things down. Immediately after getting out of the car I was like - uh oh - it's much more humid here than 2 hours away in Richmond.

I'm writing this recap as the month of June closes. While the weather has been great I haven't. After lowering my thyroid medicine 3 times now, I'm all out of sorts.
