Being on the road is AMAZING! Fall foliage is just starting and it makes our drives ever the more lovely and scenic in Blueberry Surprise (our awesome and extremely dirty 10 passenger van). West Virginia has been...ummm, Wild and Wonderful? (mad lib answer for WV which is in actuality their state motto). We spent the first night in Wheeling, WV- just across the Ohio River from---Ohio. (Whoa.) Actually, despite the fact that the hotel looked like it was falling apart, it was a pretty breathtaking destination. We discovered a particularly fantastic playground and were inspired to play a game of freeze tag which resulted in much more hide and seek than anything else :0)
Eventually, after wearing ourselves out, we headed back to the hotel rooms to prepare for the impending SC game (or at least, that was what I was preparing for...maybe the rest of the cast didn't get the memo). Sadly, the Trojans lost, but I was thankful to at least get the game in SEC territory!!
Next day was our opening performance! So cool to see the Marquee with our show on it! The theatre was a gorgeous historic site which had recently been saved from being turned into a parking lot! Great to finally do Seuss in a real theatre...although we could have used a bit more in the way of wings. Needless to say, first time in a real space, we had the inevitable snafoos: mics not working, people (namely me) running into set pieces and breaking them :-/, and others (namely Mychal) forgetting to change costumes! But all in good fun! It really was such a joy; we had a meet and greet afterwards and the kids really loved the show, so that makes it all feel so much better- though we do hope for a learning curve!! ;-)
So now we find ourselves in Summersville, WV...home of...Wal-mart? Who knows. Actually, compared with our last adventure in finding Wally World, this location is great! Not sketch at all!...for which we are all deeply thankful!
Well, on that note of thankfulness, I will leave ya'll 'till next time...for I am le tired und so I vill FIRE ZE MISSILES later.
Love to you all!

I was talking about you today at lunch, and said something along the lines of, "My tiny, adorable, hilarious friend Sara -- no really, she's 5 feet tall!" and one of my co-workers said, "Like a Who!?" Little did she know...
=)
Miss you, Crab!!
