We Have to Interrupt this Trip...

With an imporant announcement...

My sweetie's headstone is finally in!



I'm very happy with the way it turned out, although it is a little weird to see my name there...

Traveling as Two - Smithsonian

Today was our last full day in Washington DC, so we decided to visit one of the Smithsonian museums. We ultimately decided on the American History museum.


It wasn't busy, so we were able to see everything we wanted to see.









We had a great time and we called our Uber just before 5:00.

Back at the hotel, we decided to soak in the hot tub for a while.


We decides we wanted to try some regional food, so Scout used her Uber Eats app to order from a nearby Turkish restaurant. 


It was definitely interesting. I'm not sure I would buy it again, but it was edible.

We leave for New Jersey in the morning. Not long before we are home.

Traveling as Two - Washington DC

Scout wasn't feeling well this mornin, so we stayed at the hotel for most of the day. I watched way too much Food Network.

We had already bought two passes for a DC night tour of the monuments, so she perked up a little and we caught an Uber that dropped us at the Archives building.

Now I'm just going to share all the beautiful pics Scout took for us. The tour was 3 hours and we had a great time.




























And that, my friends, shows the talent of my amazing Scout. Oh, and the fantastic memorials of Washingtonn DC

Traveling as Two - Driving through Dover

Ok. We did drive through Dover, but I just liked the alliteration in the title.

Scout drove us from Sicklerville to Washington DC. I took a bunch of pics on the Bay Bridge. Most of them aren't great, but I'm going to share some of them anyway.







We stopped for dinner at a Chick-fil-A in the suburbs, then we drove the rest of the way into the city. Our hotel is about 15 minutes from most of the popular tourist spots.

There is some beautiful architecture here.





It will be fun to see more of the city tomorrow.
