Back to the grind...

Two weeks of blog malaise followed by two weeks of travel, and I have to wonder if I have any readers to which to return. But I actually have to admit that while currently physically exhausted, I feel mentally reinvigorated by our holiday/roadtrip, and ready once again to take on the VRWC.

The trip itself was wonderful; a week tent camping on the beach on lower Hatteras Island, sandwiched in between more "civilized" stays in Baltimore and DC is an itinerary I thoroughly recommend if travelling with young children, autistic or not. Suite hotels are a gift from the gods, as is room service (particularly in establishments with a decent wine list.) And my partner's pronouncements of "there are no deer on this island" and "crabs don't pinch" were soon proved clearly false, as evidenced by the parade of fauna through our campsite, as well as the painful indentation on his big toe. And, yes, even Indians get sunburned...well, at least Northern ones do.

While there's still a lot of unpacking to do, I'll be back later today with some of the thoughts which have been percolating over the past few weeks.
