We're on the road! As you can see from the picture, it was a little chilly in Buffalo this morning. Anyone who has traveled with Helen or me knows we had to make our first bathroom stop after just 90 minutes - it was -2 in Erie, PA, almost too cold to go to the bathroom.
In true 21st century fashion, the kids are listening to their iPods. Of course, that doesn't stop Lucy from talking to us. She's also keeping track of all the different license plates we're seeing. No one else agreed with my assumption that the Black couple we passed from Michigan were also going to the inauguration, but I'm sticking to my guns. Hel is doing work, and I've been listening to Bob Woodward's book The War Within. So far we're making good time, but who knows what sort of traffic we'll encounter around DC.
We've stopped at a Ruby Tuesday's in Somerset, PA for lunch and I'm hoping to find a car wash. Can't show up to the big event with salt stains all over the car. Everyone ordered burgers because our hosts in DC are veggies. Who knows the next time we'll get meat!
More later.
