My friend Amy took the day off working DC and drove out to get us at Little Foot's house. And she brought sodas and snacks! What a gal! We all hung out for a bit before packing up and driving over to the ATC in Harpers Ferry. Xan, Powder and Neutron had their photos taken and put into the book, and we wandered around the musuem looking at things. Then I realized that I had left my SPOT locator on top of Amy's car at Little Foot's house!!?!? Ugh, what an idiot I am sometimes... Well, it wasn't still on top still, so I called Little Foot to see if it was back at his place, and luckily it WAS. It had fallen off while we turned around in the driveway. Thank the goodness!!!
We stopped by to pick it back up and then we were on our way to DC! We made good time until the beltway, and then we hit traffic. I definitely don't miss that. We made it into DC and stopped by my friend Leah's store to surprise her there. Surprise!
We chatted, then said goodbye to Amy. Leah had somewhere to be, the the boys and I went over to Banana Cafe for cold margaritas and tacos. It was hot in the sun, but cooler when it finally went down. Leah came by, Dan picked us up. We stopped by Leah's brand new house. Then the hikers got in the back of Dan's pickup and he took us on a sunset (moonlight?) tour of the monuments. It was so nice in the cool breeze of the evening! And it was cool because Xan and Neutron hadn't been here before.
Got home and snacked. Mom was glad to see us all again. I called my friends Chris and Billy who live across the street, and we all hung out until we were all ready for bed. Great day!
