Day 11 : Day Away at Greensboro



Nov 24 - Our final day of relaxation in North Carolina. So, what do we do? We had fun shopping for shoes (really good deals from DSW) - just what I needed to replace my "koyak" ones at home. Furthermore, it is the eve of Thanksgiving, so with "Black Friday" looming, people are in a shopping mood. If you think that we Asians are KS, think again - Americans queue up as early as 4am on Black Friday to get the best deals in town - stampeding (literally) each other to get their hands on heavily marked down items! On another note, we are so thankful that our shipment from Sonlight Curriculum arrived just in time at 4pm today (or else it will miss our flight tomorrow!). We are bringing home 100+ books for our own use and also on behalf of others in Malaysia. It is so easy to purchase online stuff here in the US.

Spend the afternoon part of the day at the Greensboro Historical Museum. Did you know that Vicks (yes, the vaporub and inhaler) originated from this area? So much of the traditions of the past is worth learning from - especially when it comes to parenting and education.
