(Free and Easy) Down the Road I Go

We're on the road, headed for Wisteria. I'm looking forward to a good week of camping, music, and camaraderie. Oh...and Internet! How cool is that??



Ten hours in the van with the Evil Genius? No worries - we have Mum's DVD player, books, music...and there's always Kiddie Valium. Umm...we did remember the Kiddie Valium, right??

Aww...dang...

Home, Home of the Strange

Back home we go.

Home, where the giant ants scurry across the Pergo, intent upon their business and probably wondering where all the giant, thundering, ant-smashing feet have gone. Or, you know, not, because they're ants.

Home to three cats who have probably been sleeping in the middle of the bed thinking "This is the life!" Although, I bet they miss curling up against their humans when we sleep.

Home to a mad rush of laundry, cooking, grocery shopping, pre-blogging, and generally prepping for my trip to Mass (yes, this time I mean the state) and some serious down time.

But first, we have to survive the return trip...

We Made It

Have to be quick - we're about to go get some dinner and the Evil Genius is bouncing off the walls...but of course, the first thing I had to do when we checked in was hook up to the Net.

I had to share this:

Now, off to dinner...

Long Haul

This is a pre-written post, because today? Today I'm spending ten hours in a van with my family. More importantly, I am spending ten hours in a van with a bright, active, inquisitive, active, sweet, active six-year-old Evil Genius.

The words "good luck and god speed" don't begin to cover it.

Y'all know that I love my little dude to distraction, would face down a tiger or rhinoceros or IRS agent for him...but this is going to test my endurance.

Luckily, we have books - he reads on his own, although he likes me to read to him because I do voices - and we have art supplies for the car. There's also the Didj, which Leap Frog?? Genius!!! The kid loves his Didj...I just wish the thing had a car adapter so we didn't have to go through so may batteries on the go.

Mum bought a travel DVD player recently and she's bringing it along. Clever Mum.

I may survive, after all.

I'll post tonight if I can - I am hoping the motel had wifi or dial-up or smoke signals or something.
