The next few days went pretty much according to plan, except we thought we might never get through the traffic bottle neck around Washington, D.C. Along the way we took an unplanned tour through the gigantic Smithsonian air and space center in northern Virginia and listened to a free hip-hop concert next to our campground in North Carolina. We had to meet my sister Gale, mother of Nikki and grandmother of Cory and Hayley, at the southern end of the Outer Banks where she was joining us for the rest of the trip. We spent a few days driving north taking in the beautiful sights and found The Christmas Mouse just before we returned to the mainland. You’ve already seen a few of the ornaments I found there , but there were many more, including this unusual “sock monkey” style penguin. If I remember correctly, there was a whole small tree with other “sock monkey” animals. I also like these penguins with nifty flower pattern on their bellies in reverse of one another. They have really nice boots too.
