We were welcomed home by our good friends here, which was much needed as we, save Eleanor, were not sure that we wanted to come home. Thanks to Lisa and Therese the sign, the mums, the pumpkins, and cards made our vacant house feel like a home. We also got our Rosie back, who seems smaller and cuter than we remember. Many thanks to all of the people here who helped us be away and welcomed us home.
Today we drove through West Virginia where the leaves are changing. It is so beautiful there that I wondered aloud why they can't do a better tourist business. I told Matt that it can't be more beautfiful in Vermont, the traditional leaf-viewing location. He responded, "And where are you going to have dinner after looking at leaves? Biscuit World?" True enough. West Virginia's poverty is a barrier to a booming tourist industry. (If you have known me a while, you know that I am fascinated with Biscuit World and that we have eaten their buscuits. Though, one trip was enough to satisfy me for the rest of my life. I'm serious.)
(Dee, I revise my statement made in VA about the limited beauty of the Appalacians.) The pic includes a reflection of a banana, the phone, and my foot!We went to Williamsburg before coming home. We met Matt's parents there, who made the full Williamsburg experience financially possible. I hope Matt blogs about it, because I didn't do the activities. The kids had a great time and learned a lot. Here's one picture of them there.
