the great american road trip - day 8

The fact that I have a most serious sore throat might have something to do with how I feel about today - but I doubt it. Today we hung out with Uncle B - I love to spend time with him. He is a history buff, and one of the only people in the world who remembers my relatives. We looked through old photo albums, I got to hold the sword that my granddad pulled off a Nazi at Normandy and we visited the cemetery. I have 8 relatives buried in that place - 8 people I used to know - it was more than a little draining.

But the day ended with pizza and the cousins playing light sabers in the front yard - which is not a bad way to wrap things up.
