This is a photo of Lexie, my DC mascot. I bought her this summer at the NC Ferry Store right before Crystal, Randy and I boarded the ferry from Ocracoke to Swan Quarter. I plan to take photos of Lexie (like Debbie's Bob) in different locales on the cruise and safari. Won't she be excited to see some of her relatives at Madikwe Hills?


Crystal and I are each taking along a Flat Stanley for some 2nd graders in one of my former schools. Our Stanleys will be reporting back to the students what he sees along our journey. I'll post the Stanley photos later this week.
