Round Trip

After two years, we finally went on a trip and stayed in a hotel!  I'll admit, we felt a little like we were leaving the nuclear fallout shelter about 3 months after everyone else.  Mostly everyone we saw, including the family members we visited, have progressed far better than us in a post-COVID (continual-COVID?) world.  That said, we went, we saw, we did, and we made it back home in one piece. 

Ev and Amelia became slingshot sharpshooters with the help of their great uncle, Berman...

We visited the World of Coca Cola and tricked each other into tasting as many of the disgusting samples from around the world as possible .... yeah, I'm talking about you, Beverly (Italian soda)

And we got to check out all the animals the aquarium had to offer.  Although, from the looks of this penguin, maybe they got a chance to check out the humans in masks coming to see the animals breathing free...

...All in all it was a great trip...you know, if you don't count the fact that everything about a hotel is a little dirtier, scratchier, and noisier than I remember.
