I know that every one of you instinctively read large amounts of sarcasm into that sentence, but it's true - the drive was great. There was very little screaming, no spills or other... liquid accidents, and we only had to make three potty stops. Plus we didn't make any wrong turns or get lost at all, even in Queens!
Not long after we pulled in at Aunt Kristin and Uncle Brian's house, we decided to walk down to the park at the end of their neighborhood to let the kids burn off some energy after the drive, and we were also anticipating being shut in most of the afternoon and evening by Earl's rain. We ended up getting not a drop of rain, but it was a great excuse to go to the park.
First of all, the entire playground is pink and purple. It was made for Catherine and Mary. They and Christopher ran and climbed and slid and played on the swings until we were all hot and exhausted and hungry.
Christopher missed his usual nap, and although he tried desperately to keep up with the action the entire day, he konked out shortly before dinner.
However he revived for pizza and delicious little cupcakes from a NYC bakery, as well as some after-dinner coloring with the girls.
A full day tomorrow: D-ma and Grandpa T get here!
I haven't talked to Michael since Earl was supposed to roll by the Cape rather late tonight, but it looks like the storm tracked further east than originally predicted so the last I read had our area down to winds around 45 mph with gusts to 65 - no problem!
