North for the Summer
We arrived today for our vacation at my dad’s house on the Shenandoah River. I’ve been quite envious since he built this house, since the Shenandoah is my favorite river, hands down. I would like to have grown up in this house. Actually, the house I grew up in was bigger and closer to Washington, DC and allowed me to attend school at some of the best public schools in the nation, so I should not complain.
Our first stop after the airport was a jaunt to the District. My five-year-old had never been. I feel like the District was my backyard when I was growing up, so I was excited to share it with her. Unfortunatly, all she was really interested in was the Carolsel and the “castle”. Too bad the American History museum was closed for renovations. I think she would have adored seeing the inaugral gowns of the first ladies and Judy Garland’s slippers.
Anywa, we have 10 days of summer bliss ahead of us. The folks up here might think it’s hot, but it feels like late spring to me. It’s a much needed break from summer in Florida.
