Sunday, August 8 – Hmm, not a very exciting day for us at all. We discovered that there is no such thing as available parking in downtown Washington, we drove around for nearly an hour trying to find a spot. It didn’t help that we got stuck in traffic for over ½ hour because of some stupid motorcade – oh wait, that vehicle - it looks familiar, I remember hearing about how much it cost.....that stupid motorcade just happened to belong to the president of the United States. Okay, so the picture doesn't actually do the motorcade justice, but by the time we realized what was going on AND by the time Jessica pulled out her camera, that was all we could get!
Found a Starbucks with free wi-fi so that we could post our blog, and check up on things on facebook. Jessica was quite pleased that her story has been accepted into the contest on deviantART & is being posted to the group gallery, which is only available to selected stories! We are excited to see how she will do in the contest, so we’ll be making our way to Starbucks daily until we can find a hotel with internet. Tomorrow morning, we take the van for repairs (hopefully), and are planning on bussing it to downtown (Jordan is not impressed with the idea at all, but he did find it frustrating that we spent an hour today driving by all those wonderful museums, which is enough to get him considering riding a bus (that, and having no vehicle for hours). So, we shall see what we can do about that tomorrow morning.
