We seem to wake up in waves. Fran, Travis and Lydia and I are usually in the first wave (I admit I have wandered between waves.) Then Gabe, Nicole, Grace, Cassy, Mom, Dad, Monica and Andrew in differing order. Then the final appearances of Jim, Giovanna, Keith, David and Katherine. This morning was picture day. That meant that every one got up and arrived in the kitchen in varying states of dress but all had to return after putting on the mandatory white shirt and jeans.
17 people. 2 cameras. We basically have about 3 photos and that’s it. Let’s hope one of them was good.
Then most of us (only Katherine in Keith’s family came) headed to the Biltmore. By the time we got there it was lunch time, so we had lunch had the world’s spiffiest McDonald’s ever. It had a player piano and columns!
The Biltmore is very big with lots of rooms and no a/c. That’s right, no a/c. So, Katherine, Cassy, Travis and I led the pack as we cruised through. We came, we saw, we moved on. David was just a little bit behind us Couldn’t take the pressure of moving as slowly as some of the pack. Fran and Jim broke down about half way through the house and left the slow ones to make their way. That left Monica, Mom and Dad. You know Dad wasn’t the problem. Monica was on the fence if you ask me, but Mom was going to get every last bit of her $30.00’s worth. Apparently if there was anything to read or learn, she was reading and learning. If the answers weren’t in the book we bought, she found a guard and asked. So cute. So glad I was in the first group.
This is probably the first time I’ve even had a few moments of being relatively alone. I was in the first car back with Fran, Jim and Cassy. Solitude didn’t last. Keith’s family arrived from their adventures about 5 minutes ago, and I just heard David gunning it up the driveway. So much for alone time.
