Big Son's Vacation

Big Son came home last night from his Philly trip. I had to chuckle to myself on the ride home. He had his head leaning on the window. When I asked him if he was OK, he said "I'm so tired I can't hold my head up. What were they thinking making us wake up at 5:45 am and staying out until 11:00." I asked if he had a good time and he answered yes, but they didn't give him enough time to look at what he wanted. The class went on a dinner cruise of the harbour and saw the battleships, fighter jets, etc. Big Son was disappointed that they didn't tour them. He asked, Why go and see them from a boat and not in person? He loved the tour of a fort, the mint, George Washington's house, and the Liberty Bell. He couldn't believe the monuments throughout the city to Rocky. He got a really good picture of him on the "Rocky Steps" along side of the statue. Him and his friends had fun running up the steps singing the Rocky theme song.

Tonight he finally admitted that he was glad I made him go on the trip. He was a little pe'od that he had to go to school today. He said that there were no more than 10 kids in each of his classes today. The only advantage that he got was in each class the teacher's gave a quizz on the trip which counts toward's his grade for the semester. No make ups. He was very excited about that. Plus 5 bonus points were given to each kid in class today.

Not having my camera is KILLING ME. I told my husband tonight that I need to either get it fixed tomorrow or get a new one. You never realize how much is missed until you don't have a camera. I never go anywhere without it. It is almost a lifeline.
