washington, dc

what a great first impression of a great city. we spent the first 6 hours trying to get into dc from pa, seems that there was an accident on the freeway and we spent 3 hours going about 3 miles.

we drove in on thursday evening and stayed overnight down town to get a jump on the tours for today.

i don't think that they had ever valeted a vehicle on the scale of the truck, it wouldn't fit in the garage and ended up out on the street.

we toured the printing and engraving place in the morning, more money there than anyone deserves. the statement on the wall seems to have fit the bill "i printed more money in the last 2 minutes than i will make in my lifetime". they were printing $100 bills today. every day they print $750 mill.

rose marie spent part of the afternoon running over a new toyota so if your keeping score this one wasn't mine.

after lunch at the hard rock we went on a little

tour of the supreme court building, beautiful.

i can't believe that we are as a country still

paying someone to sit in an elevator and push

buttons for people who seem to have fingers

attached to their own hands, our tax dollars

at work, (in a bad way).

we are still camped in intercourse, pa until sunday and then we will atempt moving along to virgina, where we can take public transprotation to washington instead of putting the truck through another round. at this pace rose marie will have her white truck before you know it.
