I was going to post last night about the twelve hour day we had, the hours in the shop putting loose ends to bed, then about the 300 some miles we trekked. In an attempt to convey the exhaustion and excitement from the last week of long hours we planned to share stories of building the last few items for our truck. It has been a crazy couple of weeks, it’s just starting to hit me that we are taking out a tour for the Library of Congress. A good way to bring that point home is this post on the LOC.gov blog yesterday! Wow not only are we mentioned by name but that is a shot we took with Josh’s phone. What they don’t know is that Pippi is already a star!!!!

We hope all goes well for you and are looking forward to seeing you come to a town near us.
Sorry to have missed you. Arrived at the Book Festival on Friday. Looked for you; but they said you up past the Capitol building AND we were exhausted from the heat.
Hope it was a success.
XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella’s human
We are still here! Not past the Capital, right smack in the middle of the Festival
