She's a talker

Refused to give the phone back...not a good sign for the future. :)

Update

We spent the end of our vacation getting the house ready for sale. We dropped A off at her Gigi & Pop's house and we were on the road again.
When we got back to Clemson, I was struck by two things. One: it seemed so "forest-like". I guess compared to where we are living now, it seemed strangely different.  Two: There is so much orange and purple in the town.  I guess when we lived there I was so used to it that I didn't even notice it.  Even stores that are known for their "branding" change it (ever so slightly) to incorporate orange and purple.  Believe it or not, orange and purple can be incorporated to be aesthetically pleasing.  The wall in the picture below was in our hotel room in Clemson.  From a distance, the wallpaper seemed to be a bamboo print.

Closer examination shows that it actually contains a great deal of orange and purple.

 The carpet in the lobby of the hotel.  Lots of orange and purple.

The breakfast area is below.  There was a glass "wall" dividing the room

of orange and purple glass, twisted in a decorative fashion.

There were many more examples, but Daniel insisted I stop taking pictures of everything!

The house looks wonderful with the new counter tops in the kitchen.  I just wish we had done it when we lived there.  Below are some pictures of the before and after.

        

       

On the road again..

We're on the road again! Below are a few pics from our last stop.


Daniel was only a *little* excited about Total Wine. We don't have any in NOLA.



Sleepy girl trying to keep her eyes open! She wore herself out at the beach and pool!



Shopping break! We took a break from the sun to go shopping. A. found this Elmo & Zoe car and was so excited!



She started dancing when I put "yummy lotion" on her. Her words, nor mine! She even had a little song to go with it. ;)



Training for future shopping endeavors!



And she's out! Hoping she has a long enough nap, which might mean we keep driving until she wakes...

Cereal

My mom asked A what she wanted mom to get at the grocery store for our visit. A's response: "cereal in the PURPLE box!" She may not look like me, but she's definitely got some Cassidy in her. As long as I can remember, my dad has eaten a bowl of cereal after dinner. A does the same
thing. They say she squeals with excitement with they have cereal for breakfast at school, despite the fact that she usually eats a bowl before going to school too!
