I went on my very first road trip last week, heading down to Duck, NC for my Aunt Danielle and Uncle Joel's wedding. It was nice and all, but they didn't even let me carry the ring down the aisle. I was just supposed to sit there and look pretty, not unlike Sandra ullock. We stayed at this really cool house on the beach. Mom got sunburned one day but I was unscathed...otherwise Dad might have totally blown his lid. As it was he just made unsavory comments about skin cancer and raising me by himself. Nice.

I've been practicing my smile, which everyone thinks is so cute. This may prove useful to me down the road...

Yesterday, on the way home from North Carolina, Dad made us stop at Williamsburg hoping I'd soak up some his interest in history. We never made it inside, but Mom and Dad had a nice couple of smoothies and we ate outside. Summertime, and the livin's easy, I guess. Tonight Dad made a nice cod recipe, serving it over a bed of sauteed artichoke bottoms, asparagus, and of course, crumbled bacon. A little couscous tied it all together. Mom and Dad thought it was pretty good, but by the time it got to me I could tell a sprinkle of parsley or basil might have rounded it out nicely. If anyone wants the recipe, I can see if I can sneak it out of Dad's recipe box. Ciao!
