Wow is it HOT. We are used to cool ocean breezes after our trip to Newport Beach. Humidity is also off the chart. But it is nice to be back on board — with no “surprises.” All systems in great shape — we were especially grateful that the air conditioning was working!
The marina we are staying at is a bit farther from DC proper than we thought. We could see the Ferris wheel landmark from Reagan National Airport — but it is across the river in Maryland.
We got to the marina after 11pm on Saturday night and found the place hopping. There was a traffic jam on the street above the marina where our taxi left us off. I think we looked very out of place as we schlepped our duffle bags through the crowds.
We did nothing but unpack and unwind on Sunday. We walked around the marina area a bit and found a tiny market to do some resupplying. $14 for Monkey Bay — ouch! Oh….and watched the World Cup and the Cubs game.
Museum day tomorrow!
Judging from your photos you had another great family trip in California. When do you go to Italy & where will you be?
