First adventure alone--a Success!!!

So I completed my trip to DC. I was so proud of myself. I drove to just inside VA and stopped for the night on the way up. Found a good, safe hotel and spent the night. Got to DC in time to take my son's girlfriend to the airport to pick up her sister. What a grand time we had!!! That weekend was my son's birthday so we went to a beer, bourbon and BBQ festival on Friday night. That was a blast! I cannot tell you how much fun I had and how wonderful it was that these three young adults seemed to enjoy hanging out with me. The girls and I spent a day shopping and poking around thrift stores in the DC area. We did many touristy things while we were there, but on Sunday, we went and I got the cartilage in my ear pierced. I had wanted to do that for a while, but never got my nerve up. I am loving the piercing! The drive home--made it all in one day. Wow-----a loooong time in the car but I did it and was so glad to sleep in my bed that night.
