We found a Harry Potter book!

Unfortunately we had to get it at Volde-Mart! Oh well. This is the first year we have missed the Avid Reader midnight extravaganza.
One quick thing....when we rode into Fair Grove at 9:30pm after our 103 mile day (50 of which were hills) there were fireworks in the park!!! Solomon thought they were to welcome us, after our long ride!

So now that you have the book, do you get to take rest days to read it? Like, before someone accidently tells you that at the end Vodemort.....
By the way, we're co-opting the "Volde-mart" comment-its great! And Shauna actually dragged me to the Avid Reader to watch the movie and do the count-down 'til midnight. Great fun, lots of people you know, and some funny costumes. Can you guess which one of us stayed up all night and completed it in less than 24 hours??? Jenna had her blessingway this weeked and has that end of pregnancy glow, as well as that end of pregnancy "it can't really go on another 5 weeks, can it?" Marc is working on perfecting his pie crust and making fresh fruit tart every other day-we promise you one of your very own when you get back.As always, love seeing your amazing, fun posts. I remember so well the miles and miles you're traversing from our drives last year-endless yet with its own beauty. So impressed that you are up to centuries! As everyone keeps saying, you guys are awesome, inspiring, and there are a lot of people with you in spirit! Love Amie

Hey Amie, I was just thinking about Jenna and wondering how everything was going. Oh man, I can't WAIT for one O' dem pies!
We don't take rest days to read H.P. but we do read a few pages at every rest stop and a chapter before bed.
Glad you made it to the Avid Reader...I know exactly who stayed up all night reading it!
Love,
