Deanna and I are on the road again. We left yesterday at 9:20am. Destination: Maine. Last time we pretty much busted butt and got to Maine in 3 days. This time we're making a trip of it.
Day 1: All we needed to do was make 500 miles towards Washington DC. We made 472, so it wasn't that bad. A lot of driving led us to a Days Inn somewhere in Pennsylvania. I thought the bed was very comfortable, but Deanna couldn't sleep on it at all...too soft for her. She tried sleeping on the floor and even in the tub, but nothing really worked.
Day 2: We were off aroun 9:00am and headed to DC. It was about 200 miles away. The driving all this far had been very smooth...even once we got to DC it wasn't that bad. We got there around 2:00pm. and lucked out in finding a 2 hour parking spot. The meter didn't work and had a number to call. Good news: I called before we left and got a confirmation number for the call...just incase we came back and got a ticket.
Deanna and I hopped on our bikes and rode around to the Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Washington Monument, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial...and rode all the way to the other end...Capital Hill. We made it back to the car before 4:00 because the spot was "No Parking" after 4:00. We found we had a ticket. Bad News: I put the confirmation number in my phone and for some reason it didn't save.
$25.
Ah well. Luckily we left DC to head north...and we left in the heat of rush hour.
We landed in Newark, DE. Tomorrow we're off to Philadelphia, ending in Boston where we'll stay all the next day.
