Can you see me?? I am almost hidden here on top of the entrance sign of the famous Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C.

AR and Moley - Part 3

The day before his departure, Moley took AR for an exhilarating All Terrain Vehicle
ride! Moley got a bit queasy as she sometimes does, but the adventurous rat enjoyed
every moment!

The two friends sunned themselves on a mossy rock. Because it’s been a dry winter thus
far, the moss was scratchy—perfect for itching those hard-to-reach places between the
shoulders.

AR and Moley climbed a toyon bush, looking to catch sight of the Pig Air plane.

All too soon, they were hugging good-bye. Moley’s already booked a flight to the Black
Pearl, where she’ll be the world’s only known pirate mole.
