Vacation’s End

Today began with a puppet show.  At least it did for me.  For Howard it began with Dungeons and Dragons.  He ran a campaign for the older kids and I took the younger ones to a puppet show.  This particular show was really well done.  The pupeteer had all the kids laughing out loud and interacting with his puppets.  There were at least 40 children there and none of them wandered off because they got bored.  Gleek and Patches chattered about the puppets all the way home.  I was amused at the amusement of the kids.  I’m afraid that Jack and the Beanstalk just doesn’t hold much fascination for me anymore. 

After our return to my parent’s house, I dived head first into the attempt to gather all our belongings into a single location.  I wanted to inventory and figure out what was missing while we still have time to find it.  Tomorrow we’ll be back on the road to go home.  I’ve had a wonderful vacation, but it is time to go home now.  I am both glad and sad about that.  At least this vacation I can arrive back home having done all of the things that I intended to do. So that’s good.
