I'm live and reporting from the "Family Lampoons Vacation" (For those of you that have seen the National Lampoons Vacation you'll get the reference....
We haven't encountered an "Aunt Edna" yet nor have we added a dead body to the top of Mom's relay to carry across country.... (Although I have been thinking about strapping my uncle up there) much of this trip has reminded me of the Lampoons vacation.... (IE) if it can go wrong it will...... :)
We spent Wed, and Thursday in Maryland and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL..... I enjoyed Hagerstown immensely and the kiddos LOVED their "Swim Time".....(Minus the Tyler incident but that's another blog all by itself) .....
Today we moved on to our nations capital..... I was VERY excited about visiting D.C. and really looked forward to seeing the White House......
But as we drove into the town I started to get this feeling that I was surrounded by crack addicts who thought they were driving in the Indy 500 (Seriously folks WHO gave these nuts their driving permits?!?!?)
Now add to the fact that this beautiful city has decided to HIDE it's stop lights on poles attached to the SIDE of the road and you have ME running red lights! I simply just did NOT see them......
Traffic was HORRENDOUS..... (I've mentioned that already haven't I?) :)
FINALLY we arrive in the middle of the city......
Where's the White House?
I've always pictured the White House with this beautiful well manicured lawn that sits in the middle of the city and welcomes visitors....
PFT..... I suppose it's there behind the concrete barriers, but the only portion we saw was the ROOF!
We did get to see the IRS, Senate, Congress, Supreme Court, Arlington Cemetary and last but NOT least the Pentagon......
The Pentagon totally BLEW me away...... (Again you have things pictured one way in your mind but then when you see them up close it's totally different)
Welp that's all for tonight..... I'm exhausted and tomorrow we have another 8 hour drive ....... Which (with my family) equates to 12 hours on the road......
::::::Mental Note::::: rent a U-Haul next time with a port-a-potty in it....... And stick everyone back there.......
