the last month

So I think we’ve all recovered from the family reunion last weekend. It was a great few days--I really enjoyed getting to see my extended family again. I got to talk more with a few second cousins (or is it first cousins once removed??) and my great aunts and great-aunts. We all played games, had a lot of good food, shopped in a nearby town (Lebanon Illinois, where, weirdly enough, Charles Dickens stayed during his tour of America. strange, eh?).

north carolina! part two: ocean

So the second part of our trip started in Edenton, North Carolina. We didn’t know much about Edenton, except it was close to the ocean, but not super-pricey. (Hey, good enough for me.) It’s on the Albemarle Sound, though, so we still got to see water there. It turned out to be a pretty small town, but with a gorgeous historical district. Mom and I spent July Fourth writing at Acoustic Coffee (where they introduced me to cinnamon hazelnut coffee--the best ever!) and then at our hotel.

north carolina! part one: mountains

I’m back!! Safely sitting in Illinois again, with my suitcase unpacked, postcards spread out, etc. etc. It’s great to be home--somehow the trip felt longer than it actually was. But Mom and I had a really great time. We saw all kinds of new places, and we got a lot of writing done, too.
