Day 5 - Yet Another Glitch

As if yesterday’s bad luck wasn’t enough, today tops everything. Daddy left his car for us to use for sightseeing (Mommy dropped him off at work). We woke up early, well rested, and made lunches and finished our travel preparations. After piling into the car, Mommy went to start it. Guess what? It didn’t work; we didn’t even leave the driveway.

The rest of the morning was pretty quiet – we spent the time reading, writings, playing games, and painting (Celeste like to paint) in the garden. At around 1PM Daddy arrived to drop off another rental car for us to use. Sadly, by this time the day was fairly wasted. However, we still wanted to make an attempt to resurrect it, so we got in the car and drove to Cambridge for some shopping.

Drowning our sorrows, we stopped in almost every shop in Cambridge and I spent nearly ₤35 on lavender-scented items. Thankfully we didn’t spend too many hours in the city, and I escaped with a few pence left in my pockets. We all drove home (I fell asleep!) and met Daddy. After he changed clothes we all went out to an old favorite, The Stukely Inn, for dinner. A coworker of Daddy’s also joined us for dinner.

The final adventure of the day was a trip to the Tesco’s (a store much like our Giant, but larger). Now I am home and much too tired to write anything else. Tomorrow morning we will be up bright and early and back on track for sightseeing again.
