Hurry Up and Wait!!

We got an early start this morning by getting to Terminal 2 by 6:00 a.m., got through security by 6:10 and then had to wait until 8:00 to take off.  During the flight I spilled my entire drink and a few minutes later, Luke did the same.  Our neighbors really didn't appreciate it :(   Got to Midway in Chicago, ate lunch at 10 a.m. and played on the people movers.  The flight to Dulles was a little rough but "Goldie" Luke's dog (stuffed) helped us relax some!  After getting to Dulles we were happy to be met with our luggage and found a taxi.  The guy didn't know where to go so I found it on my "palm tree" and he got us to the hotel for less than he quoted, the reviews that I read about how rude the taxi drivers were was not true of this one!  Luke fell asleep shortly after getting in the car.  Got to the hotel and we have a view of the river, Georgetown, Watergate (at least we think we found it) and the White House, capital and the Washington Monument.  Luke and Josh are hiding clues for each other on a scavenger hunt in the room and I am trying to figure out how to use a Mac!  We are going to a Moonlight tour of the Monuments and Luke wonders if should really start at 7:30 because now it is light so late!  Having a great time and looking forward to more adventures tonight and tomorrow!!  Will post pictures tonight because this is a really nice computer!!

PS: For all of you have traveled with me in the past will be shocked that my suitcase was only 32 pounds!!  No trying to empty it to get to 50#!!  Wonder what I forgot!
