Thursday, June 12st, Day Thirty:
Half-way thru the day today, was our half-way mark for getting ourselves home......something we are happy to take note of...... :)
Kids are feeling better today for most part.......no one seems to have a fever. So far, Sarah and her driver are untouched by the cooties.......please God to keep the driver well......PLEASE, God?
~visit Sagamore Hill, home of???? Anyone know off-hand???? Okay, I will tell: Theodore Roosevelt. It was so lovely and peaceful there.......a different peaceful than Monticello and Mount Vernon........this home was only 100 years old. :) We just love Teddy...one of our favorite presidents. We had the funniest tour guide.......he would only give us information about the house, if WE asked him questions.
The bummer part of this day, was that a screw fell out of my glasses.....and, as I am legally blind without them....we have a big problem. Luckily my sunglasses are prescription......but, it was terribly dark in Theodore's house since it was only gaslight lit (pretend).
Had to get Shawna and Marty's help in finding a Lenscrafter's nearby.......and then the difficulty was a store employee who had no idea how to get me to her her store.......
...finally got there, and got fixed up.....and some extra screws of the RIGHT sort....in case this happens in South Dakota.
Got stuck then driving during the peak traffic time into New York City. Still not sure why it there was no traffic OUT of the city, but only INTO it. Passed the strangest cemetery on the way in....found hotel easily....found lots of interesting things about the hotel.....
We took the evening off, ate dinner in room, watched "42nd Street".ate popcorn.........
