Are we there yet?

Our second part of the trip started with a stop in D.C.. I was very excited to see the nation's capitol and explore it but then it set in that there was a lot of walking involved. According to our GPS we could drive up on to Pennsylvania Ave. but it left out the fact that we might be arrested it we tried. So we parked our car in front of as many police officers as we could see and this way we knew that the car ws safe. We got to see the white house but I was not very impressed by its appearance. It didn't scream "look at me I house our nation's leader" it screamed more "I am full many leather bound books and rich mahogany". We then walked around and found the occasional protester and politician but really D.C. is like a warmer Boston.
We walked around for a while and then had to hit the road for our 10hr. drive to GA. At first it wasn't so bad of a drive because the sun was out and we were still rested form staying at Pops' but then somewhere Mid North Carolina we started getting a bit of cabin fever. So, in order to remedy this we took a small detour to Durham NC to see Al's favorite college Duke University. We stopped at a pizzeria for dinner and when the guy at the register apologized for not having my french fries ready it hit me that we weren't in "Kansas" anymore. Al was so excited to be near Duke when there was a game going but unfortunately we couldn't stay and watch. after our potty break we hit the road and continued our very loooong trip.
We made it to my sister's at about 12:30-1:00am and I went right to sleep. Thursday was a beautiful day so we took Cali & Chaelem to the park and had a nice little picnic and got some much needed rest.
Were are going to be leaving GA Saturday morning and heading to sunny Orlando!

Until next Time!
