Itinerary

Stop #1 Barnes and Noble: Might as well start out with something fun!

Choice Maddie quote: "I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack. I'm hungry. I want a snack." (For those of you who think she's always delightful, not so much.)
