I can’t decide what cracks me up more: the fact that there’s an indoor playground in Charlottesville’s “Fashion Square” Mall (very handy on a rainy day) or the fact that it’s Jeffersonian themed.

We walked to the downtown Mall and back today, passing right through the Charlottesville Pavilion– scene of summertime concerts, we hear. Sam said, “That doesn’t look anything like the Brighton Pavilion.” We laughed. She’s right.

Cheap, tasty, fast. Also very Southern. The waitress called us “Sweetie.”

Our shipment from the UK arrived today. It is lovely to have a fresh set of clothes, but oh am I sick of boxes. And I must confess that the glee of different threads was mixed with sadness. The arrival of our stuff brings a new closure to our UK adventure. Except that AC gets […]

Destination: the local recycling center. We’ve saved most of the packing paper and boxes for our next move but the last bit got packed into the back of the car.

Sam has been reading the price tags at our local grocery store and saying things like, “Look, Mom, this costs only 99p!” It was time to introduce her to American currency. Today we did math with nickels and pennies and Sam created an impromptu shop. Note that the plushie otter is a steal at only […]
