We didn’t blindfold Exile #1 yesterday but we didn’t tell him where he was going for his birthday activity. We were almost at the venue before he guessed, which was fun for us, at least! We followed up with lunch nearby, then headed home for some quiet activities (Exile #1 and Exile #4 have been working on a project, I have books on the go). We then finished it all off with take out and a trivia quiz around the table. As Exile #4 is heading back to college tomorrow, it was a great way to round off the holiday and celebrate Exile #1.
The continuing stories of a British family exiled (by choice) in the US and finding themselves in southern Maine.
