STARBUCKS IS A RIP OFF!!!

I don't suppose that is news to anyone but I am sitting here at the Starbucks near Scott and Ann's house (Vikki's cousin Scott and his wife Ann) and I actually had to sign up and pay for WiFi. I had refused to do it at Barnes and Noble but they have me by the short hairs this time. I'm travelling and I'm addicted to the web. How would I be able to keep up this exciting blog of our every thought and movement? Huh? I wouldn't be able to so they've got me. But I think I may snap if I hear one more order for a "Vente Double Chai Latte with Soy".

Anyway, it is nice to have a day or two off from driving. I was so wired last night that I couldn't sleep but I couldn't stay up either. It was miserable. Yuan Yuan has made fast friends (again) with Elena; Scott and Ann's daughter. Elena is about 6 and is dying for a little sister. She has an older sister, Leah. Yuan Yuan tried to bunk in with them but soon came into "mama/baba room" as she puts it. Not able to cut the cord just yet.

We're not sure what our plans are for today. Scott has to fly out this afternoon. He works for McDonell Douglas as an airplane engineer (he designs jets and stuff). He is actually flying into RDU and then driving down to the coast near Camp Lejune. We could go to the zoo like we did last time. Or we could go to the City Museum which we hear is a great kid place. We are not going up in the Arch again. Claustrophobia/Acraphobia and all that, gulp! It is a clear, sunny day so maybe we'll try some kind of outdoor activity. Who knows.

Anyway, I'll sign off. If you have gotten this far in reading the blog please respond. I'm dying out here. Where is my public?
