    So after a very lovely morning at Space Camp and then a beautiful drive through the Smoky Mountains, the day took a turn when my purse was stolen from the car during a 10min stop at a scenic overlook. We managed to cancel all the cards before they were able to use them – and they did try – but I’m currently without wallet, passports, house keys, and rental car fob. Thankfully I had my phone with me; that would truly have been catastrophic. So far it’s just been a hassle. We immediately called the cops and met with some helpful park rangers who lodged a report. I’m optimistic I’ll be able to get emergency replacement passports in Chicago next week. The fob is the really annoying part. (The car isn’t with us; it’s actually parked at my Dad’s place in Indiana.) I’m trying to figure out if I can just get a replacement fob from Thrifty, or if they’re going to want to tow the whole car back to Chicago. FUN TIMES.

    Look, we’re all safe. Rodd has all his cards and keys, and so far we’re only out the $50 AUD I had in my wallet. But this is going to cost me hours of stress to fix, and no doubt some money on replacement stuff. And they got my Asian fit sunglasses, and my little Gudetama plushie, and I’m SPITTING MAD. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    BBQ at the lake today! Dad got up early to smoke us some ribs. 😍 We also had the Annual Teasing of Grandma Veva about the fact that Google Streetview has shown her mowing her front lawn for 9 years now. 😂❤️


    ROAD TRIP!!!


    Four states, 500+ miles, one thunderstorm ⛈️, and a detour because Dad wanted to see the giant Buc-ees gas station. 😂 NEXT STOP SPACE CAMP 🚀 🧑‍🚀

    We tried the AirNZ SkyCouch for the first time ever, flying Auckland to Chicago (14hrs). This is where you book out a row of 3x Economy seats, which have special footrests that flip up and make a flat sort of a bed. It’s a lot cheaper than Premium Economy or Business Class, and you do get to lie flat. That said – it’s a bit tight for two full grown adults. We actually tried it, and we were wedged in so tightly that both of us found our arms were going tingly and poor Rodd’s face was smooshed up against the tray tables. We ended up taking it in shifts – one person sitting up in the aisle seat, with the other curled up on the other two seats with their feet in the sitting person’s lap. (You’re not allowed to block the aisle.) It was still better than sitting up the whole flight. It seemed like a popular option for parents with kids too. Definitely will be doing that one again!


    Serenity.
