Washington DC

Hi folks, sorry it's taken us til now to get this thing going, we've not had any internet til tonight.

Arrived safe and sound in Boston last Thursday, after collecting the rental car, which turns out to be a Toyota Prius and has a boot smaller than a budgies lunch box, we headed for the first hotel. Foolishly, Lauren put me in charge of booking the hotel, and being a Red Sox fan, I thought I'd get one right next to Fenway Park, only the Sox were at home Thursday night, and we had to park in Canada and walk to the hotel, but it could of been worse I suppose!

Friday morning we hit the shops to grab a few things we couldn't bring with us, like clothes apparently, then off to Rhode Island. My cousins Barbara and Shirley and their families live there, and we had a great time with them. I expect they're reading this so a big thanks to you all, especially Barbara and Dave for their hospitality.

We left Rhode Island this morning and made it a whole hour before Lauren needed a pee, but despite that, we got here in DC around 4pm. I won't lie, it was a tough drive, but it's the longest drive we have to do over the next 9 weeks.

Tomorrow we're being proper tourists and doing the DC thing, will report back later.

Bonjour
