Friday seems like a long time ago now! I could not post from The Lady's iPad while we were gone to Virginia so I had to try and remember for three days everything that I wanted to write! That is hard for a little monster with limited storage space!
We got up early, but not too early, to go to the airport. The Lady told me that we were flying to a new place in Virginia called Dull as.
Dull as...? Dull as what, I asked.
The Lady looked confused. What do you mean dull as what?, she asked.
She said we were going someplace dull as... Maybe this was some kind of game and I was supposed to fill in the blank, kind of like a Knock-Knock joke. Dull as ice cream with no chocolate sauce? Dull as a story with no pictures? Dull as blue without orange?
She said, "No! No!! No!!! Dull is!
Oh! Dull is... Dull is a pencil with no lead. Dull is people who take themselves too seriously. Dull is watching golf on TV.
"Dull es...D-U-L-L-E-S," she said in a rather frustrated way.
Why are we using Spanish verbs?, I asked. Is, es...what's the deal?
Sometimes The Lady loses her patience with me when it comes to conversations like this. When that happens, she sends me to Mr. Guy to straighten me out. He told me that Dulles is one word, not two, and it is the name of a place. Finally it all made sense. I was happy to hear that we were not going to a dull as or dull is kind of place!
We had a nice uneventful flight, nothing like our last flight to Virginia!
When we landed at DULLES, we went to our hotel. We had a few hours before we were supposed to meet the picture taking people. Mr. Guy and I continued the nap that we had started on the plane and The Lady did some work.
Then it was time to go on our first adventure. We met just a few of the picture taking people and went to Great Falls Park. I didn't know there was such a thing as great falls. I always thought falls were bad things because when people and monsters fall, they break bones, and scrape elbows, and get stitches. Mr. Guy explained that falls is also a word that describes water flowing over a precipice. I had no idea what he was saying, but I did get that we were talking about water and not people or monsters so I figured it would be OK.
The falls looked pretty and I liked the sound of the water.
Mr. Guy and I sat and listened while The Lady took pictures.
Except for the no hair and blue fur part, we kind of look a like, don't you think? Oh, and Mr. Guy hides his horns a little better than I do.
It was very hot while we were watching the water fall. And then it started to rain. We did what everyone does in less than ideal circumstances; we went to Starbucks. Then we went to dinner with a few more of the picture taking people. And finally we went back to the hotel and went to bed because the picture taking people wanted to start taking pictures at 6:30 in the morning! I was going to have to be awake and dressed very early for a second day in a row! I wasn't sure that this was a good thing.
