It's been a very fun trip. The weather has been nothing short of perfect. Sunny, slight breeze, 78 degrees. The kids have been a blast. Simon and Jude have been cooperative and patient with the stuff that isn't necessary for them, like the Hall of Fame part, and they've been happy and not at all cranky and brave to ride all kinds of rides and doing great with the swimming at the hotel and sleeping well and generally just absolute troopers. And the most completely shocking development of all is that Jake and Chloe have been getting along well, even seeming at times to enjoy one another's company.
And now, for your viewing enjoyment, I will include some pictorial documentation of the trip. No pictures of Steve! He was the photographer. Take note of Jake riding as the "adult" with Simon and Jude in the back of the kiddie car and with Simon on the little coaster. What a good big brother. Chloe bravely rode the big roller coasters for the first time today and loved it...I knew she would. Last picture is of the Michael Jackson memorial at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. My highlight: seeing the words "I am the Lizard King. I can do anything" written in Jim Morrison's very own handwriting. Too, too cool.
Ignore my weird sunglasses. Jude threw my good ones in the lake last week. Also ignore that I forgot to comb my hair so you couldn't tell my head is pointy.
