Just got back today.

Left (was suppose to leave) Baltimore Washington International Tuesday night
at 9:00 pm, then the mother of all rain and lighting started! Stuck on the
freaking runway for 2-1/2 hours! Missed my connecting flight in Vegas at
1:00 am today. Me, wifey, 3 daughters, 12months, 8 years, and 10 years.
The two older girls wanted to know why Daddy can't do something about the
delay and the missed flight.

The trip was fine. My girls and my wife got to see everything they've
learned in the history book for the first time. They absolutely loved
Jamestown, Williamsburg, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News,
Suffolk, and Arlington Va,. Loved DC with all the monuments and government
places.

I got all emotional standing in the center of modern democracy! The center
of the capitol. Had to give my family a speech on how moved I was that the
entire capitol, revolves around the center which in turn represents the
people. All the might and power in that building and in that city is
actually in the hands of the people in small towns and villages. The bums
can be thrown out without any military coup, war or such other non sense! I
totally digressed didn't I?

Anyway they loved Baltimore Inner Harbor and Big Bubba's Barbq, Chesapeake
Bay Bridge tunnels, Bowie, Annapolis, on and on. I did a drive by of North
Carolina (Elizabeth City).

The family suffered under the heat and humidity of the east coast though!
Lucky enough that we stayed for the most part in 3 star hotels (Marriott DC
at the convention center, Hyatt Regency at the Capitol, Sheraton at Norfolk
Waterside, etc.

Next year Europe? My European friends, you are being given a 12 month
advance notice!
