Last Day! Cleve to DC

LAST DAY IN THE CAR!

Just 350 miles separated us from our new / old home in DC. We got up early and drove straight through so we would have plenty of time to get unpacked. I even had time to get everything out of our storage unit!

 Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia welcome you!

  Q:  How much does the Saturn hold? 

 A:  A LOT!

Goodbye storage unit 2137. 

I hope to never return to your creepy, dark hallway!

Happy Birthday Rich!

Rich had two requests for New York:

1.) Eat a hot dog on the street....
We all did this except Autumn, who wisely went for kebabs instead.
Autumn was the only one happy with their lunch decision!
2.) Eat NY style pizza! Great idea!

Breakfast of Champions!

National Harbor & Peeps!

After the botanical garden, we drove down to National Harbor to check out the new Peeps store. Yes, Peeps, the world's worst Easter candy has its very own store in Maryland, so we had to see it for ourselves. There was Peep-art, Peep-clothes, Peep-hedges, really just about Peep-anything. Basically pure Peep-insanity!

Although, I do have to admit that I liked the chocolate-covered Peeps that we found there!

"Skiing" Weekend!

We headed up to Wisp Resort in western Maryland this weekend with Virgile & Sterling for Virgile's birthday. The mini-mountains were really fun. We skied on Saturday and had a "Bear Claw Adventure Day" on Sunday with tubing and a "mountain coaster". We opted to skip out on the ice skating since the rink was about 10' x 10' and filled with toddlers! (Which incidentally was the same situation on the ski hill! haha!)

 

8 degrees and pouring down snow on day 1!

Ahhhhh! A much warmer (20 degrees) and sunnier Sunday morning.

Happy Birthday Virgile!

  

Look at the HUGE mountains!

Go V & S!

Mountain coasting! 

A tiny cart balanced on two frozen rails plus a handbrake...

....definitely not a deathtrap....

(Plus the skiers on the chairlifts were heckling us!)

Lunch in Cumberland, MD....great BBQ!

(But the town doesn't let you leave....or pump your own gas!)

Six Flags America!

While we thought we would have to drive all the way down to Williamsburg to go to Busch Gardens for our roller coaster fix, we discovered that there is a Six Flags just a hop, skip and a jump around the beltway in Bowie, Maryland!

Six Flags America

Here we go!

Octo-fun!

Wow that's high!

Wooden coasting!

Autumn wouldn't ride this! There really wasn't that much doom involved...just a little doom.

Woo hoo!
