A road trip

Hi all
Today we left South Bend for Bristow, VA to visit with Linda's Brother Dan, his wife Dee and two of their litte babys: Ashlee 24 and Adam 27.
We are:
Jim and Linda
Linda's mom Maggie
our grandson Jamie age 9
I drove 642 miles in 11 hours even. A pretty uneventfull trip, with some pretty scenery in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. An interesting note, our "I-pass" which is an automatic toll deductor for Illinois is no eable in most eastern states. We did the Indiana tollroad, Ohio turnpike, Pennsylvania turnpike and never had to pay a toll....it is automatically deducted from our account.
We will spend the next six days touring Washington, D.C. with our tour guides who have arranged a wonderful week for us.
Jamie was a wonderful traveler for all but the last one or two hours. He kept himself and us entertained.
When we go here we had an nice dinner and enjoyed visiting with the family. Dee has a present for Jamie every day he is here, and tonight she brought out her "potato guns" which are pop guns that use potatoes for ammuntion.....how fun..everyone was getting shot with potatoes!!!!
Tomorrow is off to most of the major monuments and the white house. Every day we have planned activities including the Washington monument, the capitol and a special tour of the Burea of printing and engraving(where Dan works)
We will keep you updated on all of the activities as the week progresses
as usual
love to all of you bum's
Jim and Linda
