Official day two of NC:

Today we got to "sleep in." For me that was 7 Am Terre Haute time. I had about three donuts and watched some lifetime tv on a sugar buzz and played with Michaela. I have discovered she likes to dance to MTV.

We then proceeded to the Carl Sandburg house. We started out with a 10 minute black and white video in this dude's basement of total random crap. This was followed by a $5.00 tour of his house from a lady who had issues with groups over 2 (who also flipped out because it was sooo busy). After the tour was the self guided tour of Carl Sandburg's wife's goat farm. Look out! Kristina and I took a tour of a park bench while everyone else went to see this magnificent sight.

Flash forward to a really good lunch at Craker Barrell. The special today was meatloaf and mashed potatoes.....

On to what everyone thought was going to be a trip up some huge ass mountain. We got about a third of the way up the mountain and stopped at a folk art museum. The folk art museum had a few really cool things and what I know is crap imported from China. I personally think the only reason the stuff in this museum was so expensive was because it had to have been hand crafted by illiterate mountain people....Ted said it was all made by NY people who transplanted to NC. There was a tiiiiiny bowl that was 80 bucks. That's the kind of prices we're talking about.

As everyone thought we were going to go UP the mountain, dad apparently had a different idea. We had to drive two vehicles, so I followed dad out of the parking lot and to the right, which is down the mountain. See, this morning mom said "I want to make a cake for Kristina." We had about a 2 hour window for said cake to be made before going to the movie. Dad thought this 2 hour window was too small, so we cut the trip up the mountain short so we can make (in my mother's words) a fucking strawberry cake. Driving all day is not the hottest of ideas.

Now we're hangin out at the apartment. I think mom and dad are counting the minutes before we leave to watch the movie so they can watch Michaela alone.
