We slept until about 9:30 when the kids got too loud and needy for any more sleeping. They were all trying out the massage chair and their shrieking (I fear shrieking will become this trip’s motif) woke us up. They wanted food of course--years ago I made them all ‘tubby toast’ when they were visiting us (if you’ve ever watched Teletubbies, you know what that is, but our version is made with peanut butter and a jelly face), and they always want it when they are together, despite their advancing ages. So we made them tubby toast. After breakfast, Bonnie and I dropped the kids off at the YMCA where they have two pools, a snack bar, and a workout/game room just for kids 9-12, then we picked up some trip snacks/supplies at Costco, had a fabulous lunch at Café Calypso (black bean and rice salad with bbq sauce dressing, hold the cheese and sour cream, and then came back home. Bonnie put Maya down for a nap and went to the dentist while Ben and I watched HBO and updated the blog. We’ll pick up the kids at 3, do some more shopping, have dinner, get packed up, and hit the road tomorrow morning for Atlanta. We’ll be in Florida by Friday night.
