MapQuest

Olivia has a fascination with maps. In the car, she’s always asking to look at the atlas or the AAA state maps. At home, she likes to create ones for our family, and recently, she’s offered her cartography skills for others. For instance, we said good-bye this week to her friend Davey and his family on the night before their move to Indiana, at which time Olivia volunteered to draw them a map to their new house.

This week also marked Olivia uttering this gem after I’d shown her on the world map where our pasta was from:

“Wow! I’ve never heard of Italy before. It’s a long car ride over there.”
