Four weeks had quickly passed and so it was time to drive back
to Smith and pick up Jane. Since we were also heading for a reunion
with the Seems, Kaylen came along and had a final hug with her mother
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0232
before Adele
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0233
insisted that there be no further pictures of her and Kaylen
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0234
and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0235
got ready to get in the car a little early
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0236
and prepare to depart
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0237
once Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0238
had gathered the last few things and we could head to Albemarle where the door
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0239
was closed but finally opened
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0240
so that this counselor
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0241
could retrieve Ben
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0242
and we could begin our journey by heading towards the GWB
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0243
and using the E-Z pass lane
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0244
so that we could ride across
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0245
and after fending off traffic jams on the Hutchinson River Parkway stop
in Danbury
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0246
for a 4 minute bathroom break that extended to 6 minutes.
All of the traffic and the stop made us have to rush past Sabin/Reed Hall
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0247
to McConnell
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0248
where we were able to see Jane from the back
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0249
as we all watched
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0250
and then her presentation was set up
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0251
and delivered
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0252
They would have won the game if only I hadn't
given the wrong answer. After a few pictures of Jane's friends
without
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0253
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0254
and with
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0255
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0256
Kaylen, it was time to find dinner. Angelina's pizza had a good menu
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0257
and this fellow
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0258
assured us that he wasn't in the witness protection program as he gave
us our drinks
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0259
and let us admire their fresh pizzas
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0260
along with this magnet
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0261
should we ever get back to Northampton.
After taking this picture for the collection
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0262
it was time to eat though Kaylen
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0263
seemed worn out and Benjamin
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0264
seemed to be in outer space even as Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0265
was amused by my self portrait
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0266
After a few pictures of their neon
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0267
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0268
as Ben
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0269
and Kaylen
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0270
enjoyed their sandwiches and Suzanne and I split this calzone
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0271
and so we were ready to search for the hotel but first we needed gas
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0272
for the trip which also required that Suzanne get directions
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0273
before we found the hotel
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0274
and Suzanne explained the living space
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0275
as Benjamin explored the kitchen
../../../Sabbat/2003/07.25-27.03SmithSeems//IMG_0276
while we celebrated our joy at being guest of the day.
