Ashland--finally!

We finally rolled into Ashland at about 5pm. The kids quickly found their rooms and proceeded to trash them. Well, we hope not, but we're dealing with 7th graders, here.

Pizza was delivered (and inhaled by the boys) at 6:15 pm. No time for a nap--we needed to be back on the bus and downtown to the theater (about 5 minutes from the Cedarwood Inn) by 7:30pm, dressed in our bar/bat mitzvah best. We watched an excellent production of The Clay Cart, adapted from a 2,000-year-old play from India. Kids thought the first act was a little slow, but the play really took off after intermission with faster pacing and more comedy. Very funny!

We made it back to the Cedarwood Inn at 11:15pm and hit the hay. Big day tomorrow with white water rafting (!) in the morning/afternoon, then a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the evening. Unfortunately, they're calling for 65 degrees and rain all day. That's okay--we'll be getting soaked when rafting anyway! Oh, and no outdoor plays this year, thank goodness.

Pictures to come later.
