Helloooooo blogger friends! Little Man and I are having a blast. We left Mr. Daphnewood in Bethesda and came to a town called Burke in Virginia to stay with a cousin. This town is the freakiest town you could ever see. It is a normal size suburb but there are like 100 street names called Burke. So my directions were take Burke Road to Burke Center and I think there was a Burke highway in there too. I just know there are too many Burkes. And it is a WHITE town. I mean, there is not much diversity.

My mom's cousin is a hoot. I think I have admitted this only other people's blogs but I am a registered republican. I won't go into my reasons today but I like to consider myself moderate. Anyway, this cousin picks us up in a tiny car (I am used to my SUV) with Kerry bumper stickers all over it. My favorite one he has "Don't blame me I voted for Kerry". Little Man got huge eyes and really nervous. I was so glad I had a conversation with him just two weeks ago about John Kerry. I told him that John Kerry isn't a bad man, he just didn't have enough of the same views as mommy to warrant my vote. So the cousin and I have been having some great laughs. He considers himself a moderate liberal. It really has been awesome.

Yesterday we went to Alexandria to Mt. Vernon. Aside from the thousands of high school and middle school students, it was a good day to go. They were celebrating Washington's birthday. There was this man that was dressed as George Washington pretending to be him and Little Man said "Mommy, I would like to speak with General Washington if you don't mind". I just laughed. When we got up there he said hello and then told the father of our nation Happy Birthday. I wanted to make sure that Little Man knew this was just pretend and he rolled his eyes at me and said "no one is 274 years old mom. I know he was just pretending". Ah I love when my kids are still themselves even far away from home.
