It’s freakin’ freezing cold in North Carolina! We’ve been gypped! It may even snow tonight! The good news is that we’re staying in a castle up on Blueberry Hill and it is amazing amazing amazing. We had quite a haul with the girls but they were very good, especially Sonja who is just an angel on earth. She is such a beautiful, smiley little girl and just goes with the flow. She’s sleeping on the floor in a dusty room in the castle tonight, dressed in her bunny suit because it’s so cold, and she’s just as happy and sweet as can be.
Happy bunny in her bunny suit. So cold!
Maddie is so happy to be here, too, and was a great passenger. The key is stopping every 90 minutes to 2 hours and letting her run around and play. Her dad taught her how to snap sticks over her knee and we had a picnic in the corner of a rest stop today, hiding from the wind. Let people stare.
While we were picnicking, Nathaniel and I were talking about the plan for the rest of the trip and how he felt about it. He said, “Sweetie, I’ve had a very good attitude about Florida ever since I resigned myself to going.” Hmmmm.
We’re listening to a lot of Radio Lab and This American Life on the iPod and thinking deep thoughts about the universe and who we are and what invisible forces are acting upon us to create our “identity”. I should have put some stand-up comedy on my iPod, too.
The South is a trip.
