Thing 1 documented the last night on our trip. Her self-portrait reminded me of a hobbit hole:
Thing 2 watched TV…
GWH read the paper:

Then it ended only a few short miles away in Yorktown when the British army suffered [...]

GWH was taking pix of Thing 1 in this gift shop because we thought the decor matched her dress really well! The shop lady was watching us very strangely, [...]
