We’re Home! March 24, 2008
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , trackbackDon’t know if you missed us but we’re back from an Easter break vacation seeing the sights in Virginia. A photo entry will follow as soon as I can get dug out from the laundry long enough to get things uploaded, downloaded, captioned, and what-not.
In the meantime, trip highlights:
* Favorite display of hitherto-undone family tricks: Mr Music came home with, not the hotel towel in his bag, but the Gideon’s Bible. I doubt that those often go missing. He has no idea how it got into his backpack, for all I know, I may have done it myself as I scooped his book stack into his pack while he was showering.
* Favorite quirky holiday observance: my blow-out celebration of the Ides was having a Ceasar Salad at McD’s. Et tu, lettuce.
* Favorite display of Christian love: we were blessed to be on the receiving end of hospitality as both Sundays folks from the churches we visited fed us wonderful meals, yes, even on Easter Sunday the pastor and elders and their families prepared a feast for us.
* Favorite church sign passed:
* Favorite experience in Colonial Williamsburg: attending an 18th century concert in the ballroom of the governor’s palace. By candle-light, of course.
* Favorite kid quotes during the very long car rides: Mr Music was reading signs, no biggie, till he announced spotting a “Drunken Donuts.” Yes. Miss Language felt dunking donuts in rum was just plain wrong somehow.
~ And later, there was a discussion that left someone saying “I do believe, I do believe.” I said something about it sounding like the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz (yes, like Miss Language, I hate that movie, too) but then someone said it was more like “I do believe in fairies, I do, I do” from Hook and so I asked if they do, in fact, believe in fairies and Miss Language replied that she is “a fairy agnostic.” You gotta wonder if that sort of statement kills fairies or not.
* Least favorite observation: have you ever noticed how character flaws become OBVIOUS when you are in the same car or hotel room for 9 days? And I’m not just talking about the kids’ character flaws ~ how about Mom’s?
