Yesterday we got up at 4:15 AM to go to the airport. We were driving Allie up there to Alaska Airlines. We drove 4 hours, put her on the airplane, and waited. Waited, waited, waited, waited, and waited for the plane to take off. They were paging some guy, and he came in just as the doors were about to close. Then they had to getthe plane ready before they finally took off.
We drove for about another hour, and then arrived at IKEA. I got a vase, fake flowers, a big green leaf that hangs over my bed, and a reading lamp. I have decided on my room theme;purple & green. I also got some Sweedish Fish (candy) for Dad and I when Rebekah, Sarah, and Mom leave. Then Mom got really nice and bought us all a cinnomon roll. We drove for three more looooooooonnnnnngggggg hours, and finally arrived home at about 2:30. I instantly tackled my room and put a lot of suff up, all except my lamp & leaf. Dad & Mom will probably help me with that today.
By the way, to those of you who asked how Michie Tavern was, it was really fun. Before the tour, we drank some of Mr. Michie's Red Punch (it is sooooooo good!) and then we got the tour. We saw the mens parlour, the womens parlour, (played a game in the womens parlour called ''Shut the Box''.) and learned a dance. We also saw the kitchen, privy, and well. Then we went to the restourant. We got there at a good time, because just as we sat down with our food, the bus tour people came in. After lunch, we went to the clothier. We got to dress up, and Allie got a bonnet for Katie and herself, and I got a hankercheif. Next, we went to the General store, and I got a six color pen, and a cat lover key chain.

This is Allie and I with our outfits.
