We made it! We arrived at 12:30 today (at our hotel in Manassas, anyway) after a really nice and uneventful trip! Our rental car FLEW down the highway, quietly and with a great a/c and we made it 2 hours faster than planned. ;o) No troubles at all.
Reese requested that we NOT go to DC today for a "preliminary quick look" as he wanted to get settled in and take his third, fourth, and probably fifth nap of the day. He's still recovering from wrestling camp, I guess. That's okay. There is a TERRIFIC shopping area very nearby and so we'll look for a cord for my camera, look for another pair of shorts or two for him, and eat "lupper" (lunch/supper). Reese eyed several restaurants (he's amazingly good at that) that he would like to eat at. So I guess our adventures begin tomorrow! :o) Hopefully, I'll have a camera cord by then and hopefully we'll make our 9:30 Capital building tour and I'll have bunches and bunches of pictures to share! :o) I love pictures.
Not too exciting of a report for today, but I want to blog each day about our adventures, and that was today's entry! ;op

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

Awesome! You are 20-25 minutes from me! Missy!!!!!
What I meant to add was - do you want to try and get together?! I just need to know your schedule and I'll do my best to come to you. :)
Why not just call my cell?! I'll private facebook you the number. :)
I really miss living up there. It was some of the best times of my life. This is a trip of a lifetime... So proud of you both...
