In the words of my cousins sweet 3yr old, "Made it!"
My folks arrived to DC just before me, we collected our luggage and made our way to the metro to travel to our hotel. I am always amazed at large cities public transportation! Such a wonderful way to get around. Thankfully our hotel let us check in early and we were able to drop off our luggage and do a bit of sight seeing. We walked up the street to the old Post Office, such a beautiful building. Went up the tower and took in the great views of the city. Great way to get your internal compass set. I parted ways with my folks at this point and headed to my volunteer training for the Staff Ball. I found the city pretty easy to navigate, walked to the training location and back to the hotel without getting lost!
The three of us are staying at the Harrington Hotel, luckily booking the last room they had left. It is called a "Small Queen." It's a tiny room with a little closet and bare bathroom. My mother and I are sharing the bed tonight and my stepfather volunteered to take the floor. We'll see how this sleeping arrangement works..... It's certainly tight quarters, cozy as my mom puts it. Good thing we don't plan on spending much time at our hotel!
Tomorrow weather is to get cold and possibly snowy. DC residents hear the word "snow" and react like its the end of the world. Our plan is to take the double decker tour bus. No silly chances of snow will hold us back!
