Hot Diggity Dog

BIG DOG: We took a little field trip today around lunchtime. I happened to see online that the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile would be in Kent, which is about 20 minutes south of us. I asked the kids if they wanted to go check it out, and got two enthusiastic "Yes!" in response.

You can find out where the Wienermobile is going to be and when on their website: https://www.oscarmayer.com/wienermobile

From the site, I learned that the Wienermobile we saw today is just one of six that travel around the United States. 

Oh, and if you've always dreamed of driving a 27-foot hotdog, Oscar Mayer is hiring "hotdoggers." You can apply on their site. It's an excellent opportunity to ' “meat” and greet people from coast to coast,' they point out.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING: More good news on the college scholarship front for CJ today. He learned that he was awarded the Mukilteo Historical Society scholarship for his essay "The Ferry Important History of Mukilteo." That's another $1,500 toward his tuition! So yay for that! 

Today is national college declaration day. CJ didn't wait until today to declare his intent to attend University of Washington's Tacoma campus. We're all eager for that chapter to start. 

DRIVEN: Meanwhile, Annabelle started a new class today - driver's education! 

The classroom portion of it is all online (thanks COVID). The driving portion comes afterward. 

CJ should probably sit in on some/all of her classes. Since he's 18, he doesn't need to take a driver's ed course. He just needs to pass the written and driving tests. 

No doubt we'll be hitting up expansive parking lots around our place soon so the kids can get some practice in.
