We left tonight, the 5 pm ferry. I felt sad thinking about leaving so long, but super excited about our plans and going to Camp Llewoh. We were starving when we got off the ferry. It was already Henry's bed time when we got Thai food. He was out of his mind insane. Thor was supposed to share his rice with Henry but it was super spicy. Henry wanted it anyway. He would take a bite, swallow then cry and ask us to "kiss it make it better" (his burning mouth) and then he would do it again. They took pity on him and made him some not spicy curry rice. The above picture is him, eating off two plates of curry rice, so one would cool faster. He calls tofu "Panda Meat". When he eats he says "I hunt, I eat." Too many nature documentaries. You should see this kid eat Pho and Thai food, he goes bananas for it.
My co-pilot is the resident entertainer*. Henry is currently obsessed with the awesome book Alexander and The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. To hear him request it is the best. It is all one word.
*Side note. Thor (husband) is the LEAST photogenic person on the planet. Seriously, no matter what he looks like R. Crumb or an American Apparel ad gone really really wrong. He is much more handsome in real life. Trust me.
If you think that this is a pretty place to land the ferry, you should see where we live.
This was on the counter at the place where we had dinner, we are off to a good start.
Montana is next.
PANDA MEAT!!!!
Oh, man. That is amazing.

I loved that book when I was little. "I fell asleep with gum in my mouth and woke up with gum in my hair" Too funny! I'm glad Henry likes that book too!

I love that he goes to the dentist and has a cavity and is all pissed. Its like dude, you sleep with gum in your mouth. Then he is made about dessert? He had a cavity. I love the illustrations in the book.

I just started reading your blog after seeing it on Sfgirlbybay and I LOVE it! So excited to hear about this trip and requesting you do an extra special piece on Austin, Texas. It keeps calling to me, but haven't had a chance to make it out there yet. Thanks for the great blog!

SARA! It's amazing to this old person that you can do all this from the road. Giddyup! FYI we have five teen-ish girls sleeping in a tent in our front yard, which as you know is right next to the road and about twelve feet square... That's what you're missing in FH!
