Update:
Friday I rented a car from Bargain Buggies. I asked for the smallest car they had. I was thinking a Kia or the infamous Daewoo. No, I got a bright purple Suzuki x-90. It was truly terrible, but I was running late, so I took it. Then we hit traffic on our way to swat because apparently a tractor trailor is now a terrorist threat (huh?) so they had to close down I-95 for an hour and a half. We sat in the traffic waiting for the terrorists to go away. Oh wait, there weren't any terrorists, just a confused farmer. The tournament was fun, dandy, delightful as always.
Saturday I was regretting some of the night before (like the Kamikaze shots). Denise and I got home at a decent hour, went grocery shopping. I won the Swat pool for who would make it to finals and win the tournament, that was exciting, I never win anything. But everyone was out of town or studying on Saturday night and Aaron and I wanted to do something. So we took the top off of the X-90 (it is supposed to come off, don't worry) and drove around town. We went to NOVA comm college, and all the way around Haines point where we watched planes take off and land (I think we may have also witnessed some drug deals, but I'm not sure). Then we went to the FDR Memorial which is my new favorite place in the city. I've always loved that memorial, the water is so soothing, yet also symbolic of the different terms of office. But the quotes on the walls seemed especially relevant considering the current situation our country is facing. I wish someone would make President Bush go look at the FDR Memorial and read the quotes. But I doubt even that would change his mind. Then Aaron and I drove up M Street, visited the Messners and then drove up FoxHall Road to visit Mt. Vernon and the Marriot Residence, across Chain Bridge to the George Washington Parkway and then home. For those of you who don't live in DC-- that is a lot of driving! But the weather was so beautiful and by midnight there were very few cars on the road. It was a perfect way to end my spring break. And although the car was ugly as sin, I grew attached to it. Although I wouldn't want to own one.
