Days 11-12--Once Upon an Air Mattress


View Larger Map


On Thursday morning Liam and I went to the temple to do baptisms first thing in the morning. It was an interesting experience getting into line with a few dozen young women from the university. There was a level of efficiency to everything that would have made my father a little envious. It was a great experience for both of us and a great start to the day. Later in the afternoon we went out for frozen yogurt. Now, before we left, I asked Julie if I should bring a pair of gloves just in case it got a little cold. I think the problem was that we were packing during honest to goodness spring sunshine in Nova Scotia (a rare event that time of year). "Nah, you won't need any of that stuff. , and, believing that of the two climates, a southern/westerly clime would be the more temperate of the two, I took her word for it.


We packed up after supper and were off to Jeannette's that night. Jeff and Jennifer were there and fun and games ensued late into the night. The crowd was sustained by nachos and Jed and Jeannette's year supply of condensed aged cheese sauce.
I abstained.

On Friday, we were up not quite as early as we wanted, but still managed to run some errands and get on the road. We had great visits with the Nelsons and the Dennings, which made it a little difficult to leave. However, I'm sure they're grateful to have a little more routine in our absence.
That afternoon, we took a quick hop down to Logan (after driving across the country, 2 1/2 hours feels like crossing the street) to see Becca Gee perform in Once Upon a Mattress. It was a great show and, despite its slumberly nature and my great fatigue, I managed to stay awake through the entire production. It was a lot of fun.
We didn't get much time with the Gees, but we'll be back by and by. They're definitely worth backtracking for.
