saturday

we arrived in DC around 2pm and after a switch in house accommodations we eventually got settled only in time to layer up and load up to head to the monument tour.
there was a snafu with our ticket reservations but we were happy to finally see each other! Dana not only took charge of the situation but ended up behind the ticket counter, helped wandering Grayline customers so our dear ticket lady could stay focused on our reservation, and well, needless to say we made it on the bus!

at the FDR memorialus with Elanor!

several funny stories from the tour we'll save for a later date, but after we finally got back to Union Station and back to our houses it was nearly midnight when we finally had dinner.

some of us faded fast, others stayed up to visit, but at the end of a very long and somewhat chaotic day we went to bed smiling exciting about the days ahead!
