Sadly, on
the light rail on the way back to the hotel last night, the Jedi started
feeling poorly. We had to get off the train twice to let his stomach settle
before we could get back on another train. I offered to go ride the train
alone, go get the van, and come back for him, but the Jedi would have none of
that. Still, it was a long, miserable ride for him.
I’ll spare
you the biological details of how the night went for him, but it was not pretty
on a GI scale
So, our just-the-two-of-us
adventure to Olympic National Park has turned into a day of resting, sleeping,
and blogging for us. But, while there is never a good time for a GI bug, this
is the best possible day for it to have hit. Far better now, when we don’t have
to drive anywhere and can just hole up in a hotel room for a day, than say in
the middle of the endless road of Montana.
Thankfully,
the kids are with Tia. She says they were both asleep by 10, that’s how tired
they were. And they both slept till after eight. Sweetling was still feeling
exhausted, so Tia made some oatmeal for her, and then took Boybot out to
breakfast. Sweelting had more downtime through the morning, while Tia took
Boybot to the pool.
Since then,
I’ve gotten some texts from Tia. Sweetling is apparently recovered and they
went on an excursion to a fun hat store. I got some great photos texted to me,
but you know I don’t know how to save them properly to be able to share them
here.
The Jedi has
pretty much slept all day. I’ve offered to try to track down soda crackers or
jello cups for him, but he isn’t interested in that.
I spent the
day blogging and sifting through photos. When the Jedi wakes up, I’ll spend the
evening repacking all the clothing bins for the next leg of our trip.
