Ahhhh, it's Monday.
And you know what? I love this Monday. Why?
Because I didn't have to set an alarm and we are taking our sweet ol' time getting started.
Yesterday was long, but the drive went by surprisingly quickly. I was surprised how awake we were yesterday morning at 5AM, having had a late night on Saturday! We spent the first part of the driving recounting the fun of the Lampo Christmas party - good food, great videos, surprise disturbances, police officers with silver briefcases and all... and also dreaming about what we would do with the gracious gift given to all Lampo employees out of the silver briefcases.
And the rest of the drive, we tried something new...
Saturday while running around getting our to-dos done, we swung by the library and took out some books on tape. One of which we didn't realize would do us in for most of our travels. And wouldn't you know, after getting in last night after an eleven hour and seven minute drive (including stops) we'd only made it through half of unabridged reading of The Fellowship of the Ring. Genius! I mean, not that talking, games, and playing around with the iPod aren't usually fun but an audiobook just adds a whole new experience to travel. Especially when it's a well-loved story that we've watched a thousand times over but it's been years since I had read it and never since Cliff had.
So anyways, we're here at Mom's in Virginia Beach, now - trying to come up with some ideas for what to do today. But we're in no hurry, and I kind of like that. I pretty much just want to hang out with Mom (as much as she's able, since she's still got to work), Marcus, and Cliff and get in a few essentials. Essentials being: slurpees (even in freezing weather), Utz potato chips, a visit to the shore, H&M, and quite possibly a visit to Famous Uncle Al's.

Yes, the party was fantastic! I saw you from a distance, but didn't get a chance to come say hello and how much I've enjoyed reading your blog as of late. :)
Merry Christmas!
Aha! Great videos! :)
Saturday was amazing all the way around. It's truly my favorite night of the year. How fun to dress up with all your best buds too, right?!
