Washington Trip, Sept. 9 2006 Date

We left Rochester at 10 for our trip to DC. On the way down we played with the GPS navigation system that I borrowed from Capt. Steve. That was a hoot! It called out each turn along the way. I wanted to go a different route than it did and for the first 20 minutes, it kept recalculating the route and gave me directions to I 390. That was the way that it wanted to go. When we got far enough along the route through Bristol, it gave up and finally started giving me directions along the way that I wanted to go. It was great and gave us directions all the way along even through the streets of Washington.

We arrived in DC just after 6 and we got settled into our apartment. It is on the 6^th floor of a building on 12^th St. just north of Massachusetts Ave. 5-6 blocks from the white house. We hooked upt with Pat and Mary, Laura and Merrit, and Nick and Karen and went to Adams Morgan where we dined at a little Italian place. It was great!
