We got to DC!

We got here safely and the kids were almost perfect in the car! Whew. We left Williamsburg around 10:15 when Steven got off work. There was very little traffic and tons of state troopers on the road, so it was nice and safe. At one point, two cars flew past us when I was doing 70. They were going at least 90 or more. About 5 miles later, we saw the lead car pulled over. Then about 5 miles after that, we saw what we are pretty sure was the second car pulled over by 4 state troopers! We are guessing that the other cop called ahead and they were waiting for him.

We just got everything unloaded from the car and got everyone settled. We had to bring all of our dirty laundry because our stupid (yet awesome) washer broke. Since it is 2:30 am, I guess I better get to sleep, we have a very busy day ahead of us tomorrow.

No time to post

I really don't have time to post, but I'm going to anyway. I had a work meeting tonight and I should be getting ready for our trip tomorrow. The kids and I are very excited because Mike got free tickets to the Washington Capitals vs. Chicago Blackhawks hockey game in DC. We also get to stay in his company's townhouse, so the only cost to us is gas, which I am happy to report is down to $3.00 per gallon! Since we couldn't afford to go to Chicago to or PA to visit our friends and family this year, I guess this will have to suffice as our vacation. Sorry, Denise, if we had a longer time, I would love to drive up a couple more hours to see you guys, but Alex has to be at play rehearsal back in Williamsburg on Sunday evening.

Our plan is to leave tomorrow night and then take a walking tour of DC, have a picnic lunch/dinner and then go to the game. We have been to several Capitals games and they are always tons of fun, since we all love hockey so much.

We have some issues with who to root for, though, since we love the Caps and the Hawks! Our family will be wearing a variety of gear for both teams. I guess we'll be happy with whoever wins, so that is good.
