Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

Day 1 completed.   808 miles driven including one 2-hour stretch that I never, ever want to repeat around DC where we moved 2 miles.  IN 2 HOURS.   UGH!!!!! 

I also learned a new motel trick tonight, is that the right word?   SK wanted the hotel to have an exercise room but I did not want to pay big bucks for our room.   The exit we took had a dozen hotels and was in the middle of no where.  And it was after 9pm.  The hotels know that if they don’t rent a room then they do not have any funds coming in.   I stopped into the Holiday Inn, asked about their price, and when the clerk told me $99.99 I said that maybe I would be back since I was going around checking out the other hotel prices.   She said she could do better and immediately dropped the rate to $69.  Sweet.

SK is working out, MK is watching TV, and I’m relaxing.  Tomorrow it is off to Texas and my sister’s home.

KITCHEN UPDATE

My dear sweet husband is home, working so we can pay for this trip and in the evening and weekends he will be working on our kitchen.  He is so sweet, and nice, and I love him so much.   Tonight he brought down the kitchen ceiling so he can easily install all my new lights.  Ahhh, to work in a kitchen not bothered by shadows.
