We left at 2:30 on Friday and made it to Frystown, PA before we had to stop. There was a huddle house and there were Amish people in Frystown. The Amish people eat at the cold cold huddle house and stare at babies, or at Dolly anyway.
The next stop was the best western in Danbury, CT. Nothing much to report there except we had to kind of sneak the 4 children in and they had the coolest pancake maker machine that dropped batter and cooked the pancake all by itself. The children loved it.
Stop #3 was Portland, ME. Woohoo! We finally made it to the hotel cell where the six of us could bunk uncomfortably. But the Dansby family will not separate! We took a walk on the bustling sidewalks of Portland and got ice cream without one of the children getting run over. Then we played at the hotel gym on the treadmills, the 14 year old babysitters showed up at 4:45. It was not a smooth goodbye, but we made it to the 5:30 ferry on time!
The party was super and we got home by 8:30 which was even more super since we could hear Dolly crying from the hallway of the hotel. Even though I was too nervous about leaving the children with strange underage babysitters to be able to dance the night away with my sewanee friends, I got to watch a 30 for 30 with David, which was just as good. I love David.
The next day we got donuts with Prather and Wesley and Lamar and Jake and Hobbes and then we got back in the car to stop 4.
Stop 4 was Mount Dessert Islamd and Anna's Quietside Cabin, the Americana! Once there and after dinner we promptly went to the Seawall rocky beach.
