Tim & Lisa live really close to the Arlington County Fire Department. So before we left Saturday, we walked over to visit. When we got there things were really quiet. I'd heard the sirens a couple of times during the night, so we figured the crew was probably getting some much-needed sleep. So instead of bothering them, we just looked around and took some pictures.

After that, we hit the road, around 10:45. It was a fairly pleasant trip home. Stopped at Friendly's for lunch (because we don't have those at home). I told Zack I'd drive for a while so he could rest. And wouldn't you know it? It hadn't really rained much at all in all of our driving. But put me behind the wheel, and we get into a huge storm, complete with black-as-night skies, earth-shaking thunder, lighting and hail! Thankfully, no damage was done. We stopped later for dinner, and then were home by around 9:15 that night.
It was a great trip, full of fascinating sites, lots of history, tons of good food, and lots of fun! While I think Daniel would be much better suited for a lazy beach vacation, I also think everyone had a great time!

So after reading all of this I've decided that when we move back to St. Louis...which will hopefully be soon or I might lose my mind....you need to come visit. Free hotel stay at the Loraine Inn and we can see tons of children's museums, the zoo, the arch, and more! It will be more fun than you can handle...not to mention the best company you can ask for ;)
