8:31 Remember that I need singing lessons for the sole purposes of singing in my car (I am THAT bad)
9:30 Rain hits
9:50 Even more RAIN hits
10:00 SO much rain is raining that this very well may be the sign of the apocalypse

Awesome trip! You're the best at recaps, lol
ReplyDeleteFun trip! So glad you didn't do the 6 hour drive at that time of night. That'd be crazy and way tiring. Haha. Glad you ladies had an awesome time!
ReplyDeleteWow, I've been in Williamsburg (and saw those really cool book statues), but I never knew about the Mermaid bookstore. Now I have to go again.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a great time. And Maggie must have enjoyed herself too.
