The fringe benefit of the sale was that uncle C and I could comb through and nab little tidbits of our "old" family to keep for posterity. My favorite DV collectibles are the family photos. There were probably no greater nerds on earth than we were, and the pictures are in and of themselves, hilarious.

Hamslice did not find the weekend as hilarious and interesting as I did, however, so he spent the majority of the trip counting to one hundred (frontward and backward) and then counting by twos. He happily sing a song over and over in the back seat that went "one plus one is two, two plus two is four, four plus four is eight, eight plus eight is sixteen, sixteen plus sixteen is thirty two, thirty two plus thirty two is sixty four, sixty four plus sixty four is one hundred twenty eight, one hundred twenty eight plus one hundred twenty eight is two hundred fifty six, two hundred fifty six plus two hundred fifty six is five hundred twelve, five hundred twelve plus five hundred twelve is one thousand twenty four...." Hambone had to help with most of the numbers after 32, but we got there.
Suddenly I the memory scheme of computers and bit speed of modems started making sense to me as I listened to the song. LOL
Hambone has no comment on the trip. Except to say that he gets to plan the next one.

At the time, I thought we were the coolest family on earth. Just goes to show 4 year olds should be in charge of wardrobe.
Do you have the train picture too?
I'm digging through slowly... more to come. I don't see the train one yet but there are boxes and boxes to go through. =)
