must come to an end, R & E. After we got back from Destin we spent our last week in Alabama. You had a chance to spend more time with Grandma P and your aunts and cousins. Daddy had to come back home for a little while, so the three of us hung out with Auntie Aliki and a friend from college, Ms. Kim, and her adorable little boy. We took a picture under the famous "Lifting the Veil" statue. It's a statue of Booker T. Washington (don't worry, Mommy will teach you ALL about him!) lifting the veil of ignorance from a former slave. It's symbolic of the creation of Tuskegee University. Mommy wanted to take you to see some of the other historic sites on campus, but it was way too hot. Maybe we can go back one fall and I'll show you. Ohhhh...and then you can experience another southern tradition--football season!
We packed up our things and headed back home. You two were a little less tolerant of the car going back. It was OK, though, because we weren't in a rush and we took our time. We left on a Thursday and made it home on Saturday. We stopped for the first night in a lovely little town in North Carolina. We though we could be home by Friday evening but you two had other plans. The ride was just too much to you guys, so we stopped for the second night--get this--in New Jersey! Only about two hours away from home! Yep, you two were soooooooooo over being in the car that we just said forget it! We'll go home tomorrow!
We had a fantastic first family vacation! There was so much to see and do, and even when we weren't seeing or doing anything in particular we were enjoying each other. You two learned so much and grew up so much in such a short time. You two are so smart! Mommy and Daddy are in complete awe of you--wonderful, beautiful you. We were a happy family of two, but now that there are four of us, we can't imagine that there was ever anything better than this. We can't wait to do it again next year!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
