The Adventure That Wasn't

I can’t believe it! He forgot me at home. Me! Bernard, his faithful traveling companion. I know that I slept in, and wasn’t waiting in the car like I was supposed to be, but that is hardly an excuse. I know that we have both had a long summer relaxing without travel, but that isn’t an excuse either. I was so looking forward to my first trip since Montreal in July. We were going to go to Washington, and then take the train to Philadelphia. I hear the liberty bell is in Philadelphia, and I really wanted to see it – even if it is cracked. But instead I had to stay home alone. I think maybe I’ll go on a trip without him next time. We’ll see what he thinks of that!
