No more days!
I can’t believe we’re leaving tomorrow! It will be scary, but I know it will be so fun, and I’m going to miss everyone so much. (“Me too,” said Silas.) I’ve never been overnight on a plane. It’s going to be really cool. We’ve been packing and packing. I can’t wait till we get there so we can [...]
