Jack and Kate's Vermont

We went to Vermont last weekend. Here's how Jack and Kate probably saw it.

THE DRIVE UP:

Kate: Hmm. We're getting in the car again. Supermarket? Comic store? OOH, maybe the swings at the playground. Hope it's a short trip, anyway.
Jack: I get out of school early! We're going to Nana and Baba's! I LOVE their toys! I can't wait to play with the castle and the village and the car and the plane ....
Kate: We're going a long way. This is NOT a quick trip to the supermarket.
Jack: .... and the garage and the record player and ...
Kate: I've got to get out of this seat. Plus I can't see where we're going! The back seat is pretty dull. Facing the wrong way is very frustrating.
Jack: ... the books and the stuffed toys and the bear slippers....
Kate: WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jack: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Kate: .....wahhhh..........WAHHHHHHH.......wahhhhhhhhhhhhh........
Jack and Kate: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Jack: Why do Nana and Baba live so far away?
Jack: But why is it so far?
Jack: Is it closer? Is that the distance? Why is that the distance? What are THOSE?
Kate: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jack: Baby Kate, Baby Kate, Baby Kate.......
Kate: sighhhhhh...wahhhhhh....Please let it end.
