On the road to another adventure ! We have travelled only 1800 km in 4 days - slow but steady is our motto. Spent a night with Grammie Jeanne and had visits with Brian, Rosemary, Conner, Elaine, and Angie and even managed to get in a hockey game before we crossed the border. The weather has been great for driving with our new vehicle ( and summer tires ). We stayed in Portsmouth, Maine and it is the neatest little town on the water. A lot of old homes, quaint little stores and lots of restaurants. Ate at Rudi's - jazz band playing, waiters all dressed in blue jeans, black shirts and aprons and fantastic food.
On Sunday we made our way to Midland, NJ with perfect directions from Lockhart. Had a great night with he and Mary catching up on news, family, old times and friends, a delicious salmon dinner and a couple bottles of wine. Perfect night ! But woke up to snow Monday morning...... Could not believe it. It didn't last long or interfere with our drive to Washington. In DC, the trees are starting to show some red buds, the magnolias are in blossom and daffs are in bloom - and it is 21 degrees. After our buddy "TomTom" directed us to the Monticello on Thomas Jefferson St, we unloaded, unpacked, and took off for a good long walk around Georgetown. Ended up at the Fairmont and just by chance Brian and Katie Calder were checking in. He has been transferred to DC. Made our arrangements to meet Katie the next day while Brian is working. Poor boy. Had a fun dinner at Martin's Tavern on Wisconsin ( sat next to the booth where JFK proposed to Jackie ) and on the way back to the hotel stopped at a book store. And quess who we ran into - Brian and Katie. Small world. From snow to daffodils in one day is perfect
