20130720 - OH Up and had home doughnuts then on the road. WV the rain started...


... but we got through the state quick, for more heavy rain in PA...

PA was a bit longer and wetter than expected. We took the scenic route 68 and enjoyed the views of lightening and pounding rain into MD where we stopped for lunch.

The rain finally let up and we cruised through DC and into Alexandria VA to our hotel. We parked our massive car in a tiny spot in a tiny underground garage And made it to the room. We sent D to the lobby to get some maps and he somehow ended up in an alley...

A short 16 block hike to the water front to see the sights and listen to a 67 year old man play water glasses. He has been playing for 36 years, 27 of them on this same corner. He told J&I how he packs them up every night and about the concert he once did in the Kennedy Center.

A ride on the trolley got us to the Hard Times Cafe, wold famous for their chili, where I had THE BEST CHILI DOG OF MY LIFE!!! I plan to eat there every night if L will let me.

A short walk and we made it to the pool :-)
