More About the Trip

This would be the first time we came *up* from the

subway to see DC at night.

As you can see, it was rather breezy in the subway

station.  I always kept Lydia's card in my purse,

and every time I handed it to her, I could just

see it flying off in a man-made breeze.

This never did happen....just another

unfounded fear.

We drove a lot and saw lots of things.

Probably the most strange would be these water-buffalo made out of pipe....or pipes in the shape of water-buffalo?

And everybody does NOT have a water-buffalo.

I kept random and sporadic track of some funny things I saw and a few things that were said, wish I would have had the forethought to do it during the whole trip.  Sometimes I was more tired than I thought something was comical, so it didn't get recorded. 

Sometimes I wanted to write a note into my phone, but couldn't hold a coffee, an umbrella, slip around on a wet sidewalk, hang onto my new camera and watch traffic...all at the same time....

so, the thought was lost.

Here are a few things I *did* get.

Sorry if I repeat myself from somewhere else.

Maybe if you didn't get it the first time, you will this time.

A joke from an almost five year old, joke teller:

"Do you know what a  5,000 hippo wants for its birthday?"

well, you should.

I thought this was a very strange place to put a *one seater*...

right in the doorway of a state welcome center.

I won't mention which state.

When I would see places like this, I would say, "What a DUMP!"

My favorite door.

There's a pretty good chance we were getting bored.

I wish this was clear.  I was still trying to get my camera to take good shots, and I totally blew it with this picture.

I got tired of spelling and repeating my REAL name

MO worked really well.

The breakfast WAS good....biscotti.

It was new to me.

And yes Theresa, those are raspberries.
