On Our Way

Barbara and I got up at 6:00 AM and where on the road by 7:30 AM. We drove and followed Hyacinth’s (our GPS) directions which had us go to the inner loop around Washington so we ran into a bit more traffic then expected but it turned out to be a good thing. Barbara had planned that we would stop at a garden that we would get into for free but seeing as the weather was rainy she thought we would do the house tour instead but that would cost us $14.00. Well we saw a sign to the National Air and Space Museum (http://www.nasm.si.edu/) and so we decided to do that instead. It cost us $15.00 to park the car but the museum was free, so it cost us $1.00 more but we saw something real interesting and we where out of the rain. We walked around the museum for about an hour and a half and saw most of it (it will need another visit) and I took as many pictures as I had battery life for (I forgot to put extra batteries in the camera case). We then headed to the motel we are staying at in Winchester, Virginia. Hyacinth had us go on VA 50 instead of the interstate and it was a nice change. We then went to have dinner at Barbara’s cousin Annie’s house with her family. We had a very delicious dinner and a great visit with her and her family. I will be posting the pictures from today tomorrow evening so come back often.
