Off to Monticello

I'm in Washington DC this morning. More accurately, I'm sitting in Alexandria, VA, but close enough since I'm on vacation. Yesterday was the "travel" day, running to drop the dogs off at "camp", typing up instructions for the neighbors to feed the fish and watch the house, going through the airport and making the world safe for democracy by keeping my shampoo in a travel size bottle, safely quarantined in a zip-top bag, the actual flight, fighting with the people who were 4-deep around baggage claim only to have to actually take *back* one of my bags from someone who nearly walked off with it, taking the Metro, and finally ending up at our base of operations for this vacation.

Only then, at 7:30 or so did it feel like we were on vacation. We had a wonderful dinner and chatted into the night.

This morning, we're headed out to see Monticello and various other sights in the vicinity. I've always had a facination with Jefferson and that put visiting Monticello on my list.

This post brought to you by relatives who have DSL and wireless. I'm amazed at how many people have joined those ranks in the last couple of years, but am thankful it's becomingg so.
