My family was just about to embark on a car trip when the mail came. I could not resist opening the package before we left, and it was a good thing I did, because it was my plushy exchange gift.

My daughter immediately claimed the Tepig keychain, as she loves Pokémon. Lumpy Space Princess got to join our Jake and Finn plushies (gifts from another exchange), making our Adventure Time play more fun for me, since I love doing her voice.

My son claimed the (hand-made!) platypus, and he gave it the highest honors a new toy can get (pictures below).

I grabbed the milk chocolate macadamias and dry-roasted macadamias for the trip. as you can see in the picture, they are unopened. late into the trip it seemed like a good time to break them out, when I discovered somebody had already tried to open them. luckily whichever child had done it was not able to completely open them, so we all got to enjoy them. The milk chocolate macadamias were a real treat for us, as we rarely have them. My daughter often speaks of going to Hawaii for vacation, so getting a package from there made a big impression on her.

Thanks, Classy_brontosaurus. your package really made the weekend extra-special.
