The Bunnies are spending a week in Washington, D.C. Originally, Guido wanted to go to Disney World. Since we take a major trip only once every five years or so, I couldn't see wasting it on a flashier version of Disneyland. Who knows, this could be our last big family vacation. Ever. (No job, remember?)
I can't even remember what time our flight was, but we had to get up real early. Since we couldn't take liquids on the plane, I guzzled water like crazy before we boarded, but still my hands and lips shriveled (I get dehydrated very easily and quickly) and I can't even count the number of times I had to use the bathroom during the first leg. They don't feed you much on the plane these days. We scarfed down some food in the Atlanta airport, and boarded for the second leg that took us to D.C.
We arrived late in the day and went straight to dinner after we dumped our luggage at the hotel. I couldn't believe how hot it was. It was about 8:00 and over 90 degrees. I was beginning to dread the coming days when we would be mostly walking from one attraction to the next.
Dinner was pretty good. I had a misto salad that was absolutely THE BEST salad I ever had: field greens with prosciutto, smoked salmon and buffalo mozarella, drizzled with a sweet, tangy vinaigrette. Yum! Fluffy and I shared tortellini. Scooter had lobster ravioli in a lobster bisque.
It was basically a day of sitting on our asses and eating.
