Well, we had a busy Thursday and Friday. The girls were both delighted, exhausted and discombobulated by the whole experience. I have to admit to have ended up kind of tired and cranky by the end of it all, but I’m delighted we got to Fenton’s for icecream, that we stayed with Kirsten and AAron (who were amazing hosts!), that we had breakfast with Grace and Joe, and the Thanksgiving Dinner at Charles’s house with Amelia, Mark  Marina, Kirsten & AAron, and Charles (of course), was a real highlight. Sophie ended up giving American 100,000 thumb’s up! It was sweet. This morning she said she was really happy she came because she made new friends like AAron (who made a real impression) and Amelia (who was wonderful with both girls). They’ve headed off to New York, and I’m going to collapse into a blurry heap until LACon(on which, I promise to email everyone in the next 24 hrs about scheduling).
