And Away We Go!


View Larger Map

Our journey begins... 10 days, many stops, way too many things to fit into the car, and a whole stack of Christmas music CDs to torture Patrick with.

Mariel's New Computer
Mariel found a paper frame with princesses on it and decided to turn it into her very own princess laptop.  She designed the keyboard with a few special modifications. 
There are "sad" and "happy" buttons if you like or do not like something, a "no" for quick corrections, a macaroni and cheese button (top right, next to the happy button- because those two things clearly go together), and on the bottom row are buttons for: peas, bacon, "Mariel" (in case you need a shortcut to insert her name into a story), cake, soup, and cheese.
Patrick and I are interested in having her design some computers for us.  I think that I would be willing to pay quite a bit extra for an instant cake feature on my computer.
