Our street is the shape of
a capital P, with our house near
the bottom of the straight line. One
day, I suggested to Mary that she
ride around the loop by herself.
This year, Adelaide turns six,
so she will be old enough to take
two classes, like Mary. But this would mean
five-and-a-half hours at the studio
on Saturday. Instead,
we are considering a class or two on
a weekday after school.
We have passed on our love
of road trips to Mary, seven, and
Adelaide, five, with our annual
trek to Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina. It’s 15 hours each way.
