Other than travel sickness, which I get a lot, we had a ball. After the car show Laota and I went to an antiques shop and bought a haunted mansion record (vintage, gorgeous!) and a Gene Autry record. Then we took photos around town, especially Main Street, USA., then went to see the toy shop and took more photos.

Here’s a little something to make you feel awful for all of your hats:
