Pater: Wondering Avocado Juniors

Posted by Pater , Tuesday, December 31, 2019 8:01 PM

The Book of Exodus teaches us how for 40 years the Jewish People wondered in the wilderness after leaving Egypt.  Imagine all the packing and unpacking!  After a December of multiple travels, I think the Avocado Hasses understand how they must have felt.  Though with less sand in all our belongings.

First there was Mater and Pater's trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil and the Atlantic Rainforest...

...we barely had time to unpack before the Avocado Hasses split up, with Mater, AJ1, AJ2 and AJ4 flying to Florida, to spend time with Grandma, uncles and aunts and cousins Toronto, the pool, tennis and Candytopia...
 
...and Pater and AJ3 flew to London to spend time with Uncle and Aunt Tel Aviv and cousins London, no pool but lots of rain, and a whole ton of tourist sites like the London Eye, the Aquarium, London Zoo, Madam Tussauds, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, tour bus, boat ride on the Thames, The Queen's Gallery (where AJ3 was OBSESSED with listening to the guide for EVERY art piece), Big Ben, Downing Street, the Natural History Museum, Tower Bridge and Tower of London, and a million other places...
One might think that after all that travelling that a rest would be in order.  One might think that.  But we didn't.  Less than 12 hours after arriving back in Toronto, Pater and AJ3 were back on a plane, for La Grande Reunion...
Sure, there was another week after that, with swimming, donuts, a visit to a slime factory (no comment), donuts, chanukah lights, presents and fun, fun, fun.  But nothing was better than the hug that AJ3 got from the other Avocado Juniors when they met up after a week of separation.  A month of planes, trains, (boats) and automobiles were worth it just for that hug.
