On To Washington, D.C. For Us

We need to move on from Antietam.  We have to be "home" by dark.  (That's so funny!  Our grandkids get to stay out until midnight on the weekend, and we have to be home by dark!)  We don't know where our hotel is.  GPS is nice (very nice!) but one time it took us through some pretty shaky neighborhoods on our way to a hotel - and it was after dark.  Granpa said then that we should at least find our hotel before dark.

Turns out, the hotel was a bit more upscale than we had imagined for the price we paid.  Valet parking was the only parking there was.  (I don't like valet parking.  I don't like parking way away from the room because I always forget things, and can't go back for them without it being a pain.)  The room was really nice, and there was a Mexican restaurant (my favorite) just down the street a tad.

So we had a pretty restful evening, and got up early the next morning, had breakfast downstairs, and began cruising D.C. for cherry blossoms!
