Terry was given the opportunity of his 11-year-old lifetime this summer. He has gone to Germany with his Nana for two weeks. Doug's brother Clint is in the Air Force there and Nana agreed to let Terry go with her to visit. The trip also includes a visit to some other cities, and today they spent the day in Paris.
Each day I talk to Terry and I get the 2-minute travel report of what they have been doing. Yesterday's report began with "Guess what I did today Mom!!! I had 3 different kinds of German sausages!!!" Today he called and he said they went to Paris. I said "oh wow! What did you see?" Terry responded with a laundry list of items he had eaten today--he must've gone on for a minute about everything he ate. Finally I interrupted him and said "Terry, I said 'What did you SEE?' not 'What did you EAT?'" "Oh," he responded. "Um, we saw the Mona Lisa."
Hello! Really??? Seeing the Mona Lisa is an afterthought??? I just hope there are more than pictures of German sausages and meatball subs on those rolls of film he's burning through.
Have fun Terry! Don't forget to write in your journal every day. And if you bring me back food, make it some good German chocolate rather than a good German sausage. :)

Heather he is cracking me up. I asked what he like best about Paris yesterday and he responds with, "the best part was the meatball sub." We ate at Subway!! So funny but we are having fun with him. My boys are loving having their cousin Terry to play with.
Heather, this is so funny to me because this is how we too catalog our travels over here. If you look at my photos, scrapbooks etc I always talk about the food!!! France = pastries, Germany = apple strudel and brats, etc etc.
Oh, I love it! He's such a guy already. What a great opportunity for him.
