We're done


So, even though this post is late in coming, I'll do it anyway. If you didn't figure it out already, we got to D.C., stumbled through the past few days. A quick recap of the rest of our trip is as follows: Day 5 --> We drove from Columbus, OH to Linthicum, MD. As we learned previously, Gina said it would take about 6 hours and 45 minutes, we added two hours and arrived right when we were supposed to! We got in a little after 4:30 pm and just crashed. We were able to crawl back to the van for a quick jaunt out to IHOP for dinner. Btw, their strawberry crepes are to DIE for. Right as we were being seated, the clouds opened up and began dumping rain. Whew, we made it inside just in time. And right when we were paying the bill, the clouds parted and the rain ceased. Just long enough for us to get home, get inside and have the showers commence again! It kept raining the next day (Thursday) and the next (Friday) and then was a clear morning on Saturday. We took advantage of the fine weather (although it was indoors, so weather wasn't an issue) and frolicked at the Aquarium in Baltimore. ;) Pictures will follow, just not right now. A relaxing dinner (yes, you can have that with 4 kids) at Macaroni Grill rounded things out. The cross country trip is over! For now. Oh yeah, I do have to drive back. Let's just not think about that right now. Forgive me, we didn't take any exciting pictures of the trip on Wednesday. We did get one of the clouds parting after dinner. Cue the heavenly chorus! Ahhhhhhh. And the pictures from the aquarium are on the camera, which is in the car and I'm too lazy to go downstairs and get it. So, you'll have to wait!
