We left a little later today, but that's okay - all we had to do was get down to Summerfield. We slept in, and did some other last-minute packing. We also stopped by the church for some pranks. You'll probably hear about that tomorrow. The trip down was quick, and uneventful. Madison watched "Frozen" for the fourth time, and played on her Kindle and Explorer some more. Mommy slept a lot, and Daddy was moving down the road. There wasn't any traffic to speak of, not even in Henry County - although this was the trip down. Traditionally, it's Henry County on the way back that gives us trouble. We stopped at the Dooley County rest area, which is becoming a tradition for us. Madison announced she had to use the restroom, and with remarkable timing and favor, within a mile there it was: the rest area.
Mommy always packs sandwiches and snacks, so we munched in the car as we travelled. The weather was perfect, and the roads were clear. Even the roadwork seemed to be minimal this time.
We got to Nana and Ba-Ba's house early, and already there was food. This is one of the trademarks of going to Nana and Ba-Ba's house, an epic amount of food. I do not use the word "epic" lightly. If it is going to be epic, it had better meet that definition full on. And in this case, it does. Certain cruise lines don't offer as much food as Nana and Ba-Ba do at their house. Just saying.
So Madison set up her station when we arrived. This is a table that is set up in the living room, complete with crayons and activity books. Mommy gave her one that has math problems in it, presented in a fun way. Madison was busy zooming through these, and working on her latest paper airplane design. She's also busy coloring and cutting out shapes, like snowflakes and balloons.
We talked for a while, after dropping the luggage off in the rooms. Daddy was ready for bed a little early, but before going to bed, he and Madison read another comic together. This week's comic features the Punisher. Now Daddy doesn't regularly read the Punisher, but this particular comic was a story about the time the Punisher visited the hometown of Archie. It was a crossover of comics, where somehow the integrity of the Punisher comics was kept, as was the integrity of the Archie series. It's fun, with a little action and a little comedy too. We started that read tonight, and will probably finish it before the week is over.
So tonight we got to bed in Florida. It's good to be back. Our stay here won't be as grand as they used to be - it's a scaled back and more budget-friendly trip away. But we'll have some new highlights. And Madison doesn't mind a bit, so long as she can hit the pool and be with her grandparents.
