And they're off!

EM left this morning for his sixth-grade field trip to Cape Cod. He'll return on Friday.

During the trip, they'll see Plimouth Plantation, have a whale workshop, ride on a fishing trawler, visit the Woods Hole Aquarium, go on a whale watch, spend time at the Cape Cod National Seashore, eat dinner at a seafood restaurant, and visit the Mayflower II.

He should have a great time, although I find myself stressing a bit about his packing. (He handled it all himself, and now I'm wondering Did he remember money for snacks? Did he want to take a disposable camera? Will he lose his lunch before he gets on the bus?)

Michael, who dropped the kids off at school and got to witness the energy first-hand, assures me he will be fine. I'm trying to believe him.

He'll probably have a great time, even if he has forgotten something. It sounds like a wonderful trip!
Hopefully he'll remember all the exciting details to share with you, but if he doesn't, those details will probably pop up in family gatherings in the years to come.
