Blogging, Tired, Oh and our Van is in the Shop!
Well we had a really good travel day on Thursday, we got up and packed all our stuff up and then cleaned the house we were staying at. we dropped some stuff off at Conrads and headed out... but first Paul had to stop and get some Green Coffee to roast... so we headed out around 10ish and made for Frederick MD --- Some highlights of the roadtrip were, Spanish Guitars, Our guest speaker Kris Valetton speaking 3 sessions, and Jason's smelly feet! We made great time getting to our hotel around 6, dinner at Chiptole and then some swimming and Olympics!
This morn we headed out for a day of sightseeing around DC -- We started the day out Arlington Cemetery watching the changing of the guard , and visiting the Grave of JFK -- W e then went to the Lincoln Memorial and Korean war memorial and then back to the van... that is when we had a change of plans.
So we get in the van and Paul puts it in reverse to get out of the parallel spot and low and behold there was no brakes!!!! so he slammed the van into park and apparently hit the E-brake in the process--- good thing we did not do any damage to the car behind us! so after gaining our composure the boys assessed the situation (definitely busted brake line) and Jason pulled a card trick... AAA thank you. we got a cab for the girls and Jordan and all their stuff and Jason and Paul stayed with the broken down van. good thing - nice tow truck driver and very helpful service / bad, thing - Midas Washington DC ( that is probably all you need to know, think about it $$$$$$$$$$) -- luckily the highway robbery is seriously a minutes walk from our hotel --- it will be fixed sometime tomorrow.
So we did get a nap in the midst of all of that and then headed out to see the town! We went to the National Archives and saw the declaration of Independance, Bill of Rights, and the constitution. then off to a very nice dinner at Austin TEX-MEX grille -- Jason could not get enough, best food ever he claims --- now we are back at the Hotel and very tired --- but we are resting up for THE CALL tomorrow --- should be a good time!
Jordan: Well today and yesterday were interesting. Yesterday was mostly like driving and was fairly boring. The biggest highlight was our guest speaker kris Valetton. Today we hit the big cemetery, Lincoln memorial, Korea war monument, and the National Archives which was the highlight of my tourist activities. The meal was wonderful and made me nice and full which is hard to do because portions are small at most places that serve food. The evening end with a good round of wrestling with my good pal/ used to be may good pal Jason who is now my arch enemy and we are not talking right now because he is really on my nerves and i think i might punch in my dream and sleepwalking. So for all you fun loving caring people who are not like Jason Good Night and See you Soon Jordan
jason: hello fellow americans and people who dont want to talk to jordan. the food was fantastic. i want some more FOOD! peace out and i shall talk to all you fellow americans soon. my face is .....
