We have a gnome that loves to travel. Here he is with a random, but willing, colonial stranger in Williamsburg. What I said in the last post about Saturdays being too few and too crowded -- that's the same for Holidays. If our kids have a few days off of school, so does every other kid (and airlines, car rental agencies, and hotels are very aware of these dates).
A year to maybe: make it to the Delaware Bay when there are clomp-clomps of horseshoe crabs; be on the spot in Punxsutawney when Phil prophecies; see the fall foliage in Acadia...
We huffed and puffed up Moro Rock this summer and while sitting at the top trying to figure out a good photo-op for the gnome The Boy asked what would happen if the gnome fell... It was suggested that a newspaper headline about the accident, sensationalizing our poor judgment as his caregivers, might read: "They Should Have Gnome Better."
Number three on our top ten list of reasons to home school: to work on emptying the bucket list so we have no (gnome) regrets.
