Catching Up (again)

I’m starting my post with last Tuesday, when we drove up to D.C. The car ride for me was fun. Probably because I wasn’t driving.

I had downloaded Confessions Of An Imaginary Friend for the car ride, because my teacher last year had read it to my class, and I really liked it so I downloaded it to listen to with my parents. When the story ended, I fell asleep.

When I woke up we were at our first hotel. When we got inside our hotel room, my dad immediately said that we were only staying there one night. Even though there were two beds, I ended up sleeping with my parents. I have to admit, I saved my parents from using the hotel issued blanket, by using my quilt. I also used my own pillow, since there was a pillow shortage. On Wednesday after breakfast (bad yogurt) my mom got us reservations at our usual D.C hotel, so we went there instead. The River Inn is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

I forgot to tell you that at Northwest Creek Marina, there is a swap table, and I scored a nice floral napkin to make another boat bunny (stuffed animal with bunny head) I will show you a picture. We had a nice stay in D.C we saw Simon, met Simon’s friends, saw some cousins, and ate lots of brunches. In D.C I learned that brunch doesn’t have to be fancy. And my mom made me another boat bunny, I named it Penguin bunny, because the ears are my favorite penguin socks. The drive back to New Bern was antsy feeling, because we didn’t really know what had happened to Cupcake. When we got to New Bern, Cupcake was fine, she had pulled a cleat out of the dock, and damaged the finger pier, but otherwise was fine. Today we moved Cupcake over a slip, I got a bit panicked, but Cupcake was strong, as usual. Now we are up to date.

This is the cleat that tore out of the dock. Slow internet. Maybe more pictures later
