Karen And Sylvan's American Road Trip

---

After months of planning on we're finally off on our trip across America.We arrived in Chantilly VA at Adrea and Jim's house about 5pm Tuesday evening, a long uneventful trip with only one missed turn sending us over the George Washington Bridge. We enjoyed the hospitality of our good friends Andrea, Jim and their girls, Emily and Katie, both students at Virginia Tech, and Benji the dog. Wednesday Andrea joined us and we toured Mount Vernon. It's definitely a good destination and a fascinating glimpse into history. The weather was hot as to be expected but a cloud cover most of the day made it bearable. After a quick stop at Washington's grist mill and distillery it was off to meet Jim for dinner at the Old Ebbitt Grill in the city. It was then off to RFK Stadium to see the Washington Nationals play Cincinnati. It was a win for the home team 7 to 2 and Andrea has become a fan. Bronson Arroyo pitched for Cincinnati gave up the 7 runs in the first two innings and was gone. A great start to our trip, we arrived back in Chantilly exhausted but ready to take to the road Thursday morning.
