T- 3 and counting…

T and I are off to Virginia and Maryland for Thanksgiving in just over 3 hours. So far only the wine is packed… but the rest will take care of itself… The wine (six bottles was an issue… it has to be checked, and we are flying United, and United breaks guitars, and I am sure they are certainly capable of breaking or otherwise mistreating wine… So I bought a wine shipping box with a heavy Styrofoam liner, wrapped precious bottle and sealed the whole thing with lots of tape… it will have to do…

The plan (as much as we have one… overnight flight arriving at Dulles some time near dawn… The daughter will meet us… we will find some breakfast, maybe in Manassas (also known as Bull Run if you follow the Northern point of view related to the War of Northern aggression), find our way to Alexandria, where we will be staying… then metro to the Pentagon for a tour… then off to Washington DC… We want to visit the Library of Congress (I need to upgrade my card so I can put in pulls electronically) and a couple of the Smithsonians… I plan on taking a look at a few things in the Museum of American History Archives while the ladies are next door at the Museum of Natural History… We will probably do lunch at the Eastern Market…

Eventually we will make it back to Alexandria for the night.

Thursday is of course with family at one of our nieces in Lawton Virginia… Friday is so far free, and Friday evening there is a Christmas evening program at Mt Vernon that sounds interesting. Saturday we will probably in California Maryland, and Sunday we end in Baltimore, staging for a very early flight on Monday…
