Tomorrow we leave for Austin. Yippee!

We drive to Burlington tomorrow AM, and then will spend the day there, and have a 'special night' in a hotel, and then get up at a ridiculous hour to make a 6:15 flight. I am sure I will be bursting with stories by the time we land. Today I went to the drugstore to get airplane fun things and grabbed a fistful of stickers, only to be dumbfounded when the checkout lady announced my total. Let's just say I returned 20 dollars worth of stickers. Apparently the little suckers are not so cheap when you buy in bulk. I returned the uppercase alphabet stickers, but kept the lowercase alphabet stickers. I am astounded at how truly complicated the lowercase alphabet is. Think about it--think of the written g and the print g. Do you draw a g like it appears in these sentences? And then there is little a. With the feather in its cap and without. And does l HAVE to look like big I? I guess we will have lots to think about on the plane.

Packing was an adventure. But...I have managed to whittle it down to one checked bag and 2 carry ons, plus a backpack for Ava. Cannot believe it.
