Ahhhhh! The steady breeze. The rustling of the leaves. The cooler temperatures. The sound of the school bus as it collects it’s passengers at 6:30 a.m.
It’s fall. I don’t know about the rest of you, but my summer disappeared before my eyes. I don’t have any great memories, collector shot glass, or even a tacky airbrushed T-shirt.
At the start of the summer, I had all these grand ideas for things I was going to do with the kids; places I’d take them and things I’d teach them. I think we got two things on my list acheived.
This fall, I’m going to try to make up for lost time, but really… there’s no such thing as making up for lost time, is there? That time’s gone and never coming back. I’m going to try, though.
Here’s my list of things I want to do with the kids before my new deadline: December 31st.
-Take them to the NC Zoo in Asheboro and just sit in the aviary to listen to the different birds. Avoid the wasp habitat.
-Take the kids back to Stone Mountain (avoid the Wal-Mart), also visit the Fernbank Museum while there.
-Latta Plantation
-Reed Gold Mine
-Charleston, SC for Patriot’s Point, Angel Tree, Battery, Forts Sumter and Moultrie, and the Aquarium
-Maybe the Creation Museum in Kentucky?
-Pigeon Forge (ok, that one’s for me…a girl’s gotta shop, ya know? 
)
If we’re lucky, we can cram most of these in. In the mean time, anyone wanna join us?
