The past few days have pretty much been relaxing in Gina's town - which I definitely needed after the insanity of Boston.
Today we saw Up, which was quite cute. There was, however, the downside of it being a kids movie, and thus the cinema was full of, well, kids. I do forgive them, though - mainly because I have memories of crawling along the floor of the cinema, under the seats, during the Secret Garden. I doubt that anyone loved me for that.
After the movies we lounged on Emma's back lawn with books, beach towels and baby carrots, before walking to a carnival. Yep, flashing lights, dangerous-looking rides and tacky stuffed toys all around. It was actually really fun - we pretended it was Emma's 9th birthday instead of her 19th, thus justifying cotton candy and the ferris wheel.
Post-carnival we had dinner at Panera and ice cream at Cold Stone. (And yes, Australian viewers, Cold Stone is pretty much exactly the same concept as Cold Rock.) I was coughing up my lungs at this point, so I opted to go home. (Look Mum! I'm responsible!) Feeling much better than I was yesterday, though, so it's all well and good.
Going journeying tomorrow, "up the Hudson," which sounds to be most delightful. Definitely looking forward to seeing some more of the country!
