shaking out the travel bugs

Yesterday Julianna told me she was "going to America".

A few minutes later she came out of her room dressed like this:


Take special note of the shoes she selected. That will certainly make for some comfortable trekking during her airport layovers, don't you think?

What's in the bag? Snacks for the airplane.

[I'm not sure why she is wearing two ties (part of her dress up clothes collection). Maybe she's hoping for a business-class upgrade? I've always heard that you are more likely to get upgraded if you "look the part".]

Our girls are used to lots of travel, so it's no wonder that their pretend play frequently heads in that direction (no pun intended). But, in actuality, we have a slow summer planned with no family travel on the horizon. She'll have to save her ties and fluffy shoes for another season. Matt is on-the-go a bit over these next two weeks, but we'll be holding down the fort here at home. The girls will have to shake the travel bugs out of their system with lots of pretending :)

That look of satisfaction! Granddaddy and I have zoomed in, studied, and discussed every clothing selection. And last night Granddaddy did proudly shove his computer in front of each of Stephen's friends/groomsmen so they could admire and comment on our beautiful granddaughter Julianna! The boys left last night for Oak Island for their bachelor weekend - hope the house survives!
