Well, we finally made it out on our trip! We are loaded to the hilt, as you can see! Jake did a great job putting the rack, kayaks, and his road bike on the car.
There goes the gas mileage . . .
We drove 6 hours Friday and stayed the night in Arlington, VA. We woke up early this (Sat) AM, took the Metro across the Potomac and walked around DC. We saw the Washington Monument.
James was super-excited to find the T-Rex skeleton out of "Night at the Museum" at the Smithsonian.
He was also excited they let him hold a real beetle at their "bug zoo".
I thought of my Grandpa Hallows at the World War II Monument.
Jake and I enjoyed the Lincoln Memorial the most.
It felt like a very sacred place. We're so very grateful for all he did to make our nation whole and free for all.
Amazing to actually be here!After DC, we drove on to the Outer Banks, and arrived tonight. Beach pictures soon!
