I have been very impressed with Jamie and I and our ability to road trip. We plan things out before, we wake up early and tackle the world, we see all the sights that we can, etc. My major downfall this trip has been my ability to over-pack. Its a problem that I will always have. First, I start with more of the normal "essentials" than a person needs. (I have enough underwear to do the entire trip again.) When Jamie and I travel on Spring Break, we always say that we have to wear everything that we bring. So far I am going to be wearing a bathing suit, 3 sundresses (did we mention it was 45 here today), 3 tshirts, 2 pairs of shoes, and about 14 pairs of underwear on the plane ride home.
We have other things with us that are probably not necessary. For some reason I thought we would need 2 bottles of rubber cement. We do have some stuffed animals that have made the trip. Domo, the pink monster, was a gift of my friend Kate and I have taken a picture of him at every major attraction in every spot. I have been printing out the pictures of him and been mailing them to my niece and nephew in Nebraska. Apparently reading Domo postcards are an incentive to get the kids to eat all of their dinner. Who knew?
I sent Caleb a postcard with Domo on it. Adrienne reported that his reaction to it was to say "The pink guy is mad." Today I put Domo in the boat on the pond, but accidentally dropped him in the water first. The pink guy was mad.
