Packing up and leaving my brother's house in McLean, Virginia. It's been great fun to play house for a week. Alex and I enjoyed the dishwasher, large-screen TV, and especially the laundry machines. Right there in the house!
We also enjoyed the sites. Did a biking tour last night and then went to the Brickskeller and drank insanely good Belgian beers. Like Delirium Tremens and Deolle Oerbier. Dang. So tasty. Here is their beer list, so you can be amazed.
Got a last load of laundry in the dryer. Then we're heading to Philly for a night at the luxurious airport Marriot. We may check out the Liberty Bell and other landmarks of the city of brotherhood. Back to SF tomorrow! It's been a nice trip.
We've done great with places to stay, with one exception. I got a discount rate for two nights at the Sagamore -- supposedly a luxurious Adirondack resort -- for Alex's birthday. We didn't like it. It was like a New Jersey country club scene, gated community and all. We weren't there five minutes when a security guard yelled at Alex for stopping his car in the wrong place. Our room looked just like the great room in my parents basement, minus all my grandparents' furniture. So we bailed, took the cancellation fee hit, and got back on teh road. Ended up getting a nightcap in Woodstock, NY, and staying at Howard Johnson's. A sort of an adventure. With pancakes.
