Our Young Travelers Update...

Talked to this kids early this afternoon, they were in the middle of big thunderstorms. Yesterday they toured Ashland Highland, President James Monroe's home in Charlottesville, VA. They have also visited the University of Virginia as well.

On a less historical note, yesterday they went to the movies (gasp, yes, I know, a MOVIE when they are on the east coast... geez) and saw "Bewitched." Today they went to the movies again, presumably to get out of the thunderstorms (severe lightening and thunderstorms are NOT something we get here regularly and are usually pretty entertaining...) to watch "War of the Worlds."

Despite poor reviews the all the kids (and my mom especially) loved "Bewitched." They said Nicole Kidman was absolutely adorable in it and that Will Ferrell was hilarious. Without a doubt, Tom Cruise is in questionable standing, yet the kids (and my mom) said that "War of the Worlds" was intense and very good. Ethan says it is the best movie he has ever seen.

Regardless of my personal feelings for Tom Cruise, I still want to see the movie. It just looks thrilling!
