Well today I traveled to DC. A conference starts tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM so I had to get here today.  We tried to get here as early as possible to have sightseeing time.

The rental car place opened at 9 so we were thinking that Mallory would pick it up at 9 and then head out at that time to get to DC at 1:30ish.

There were a few of us carpooling. I was driving to Mallory's and she was getting the rental car and we were leaving from there.  Then Hilary was carpooling with us so I was picking her up on the way.  Therefore I was driving 1:30 prior to getting the rental car. Then it was roughly 4:30 of driving after that.

Well I got to Hilary's at 8:15 (like we planned).   But then we didn't arrive in DC until 4.  A few things caused delays.

The main delay was our rental car getting a flat tire.  It was a big ordeal. Roadside assistance is supposed to be covered. It wasn't. Then the tow truck guy charged even more. We get to expense it to work but still it is the principle of it all.

Once I was settled in my room it was 4:30.  Then we did some figuring and decided to head to Arlington National Cemetery. We went via metro but it was still a ton of walking there.  

Then we took the metro back. I left Mallory and Lauren and I went to Pot Belly's.  They were closed so I walked to a different location that was opened later.  I ate it there (alone!) and was still hungry so I stopped and got some munchkins on the way back.

My feet were so very tired so I took the metro back. Well that still involved walking. That involved being more confused and getting turned around.  I got back at 8:30 and was so tired. As I got back I got a text to go out. I'm too old for that.  I wanted to sleep right away but here it is 11:00 and I'm awaking typing a post and I was doing emails and loading pictures.

While out my low battery light started blinking. It actually started blinking early.  Then my cell battery also almost died.

7:30 is going to come early tomorrow. I bet I'll be more tired than those other people that left at 9 to go out and party. I'm old.

Also I got back to my room and did this to my pants. They weren't my sitting pants and were a bad choice for what to wear for a day I'd be sitting a lot.  I did eventually shower and put on my yoga pants.

How was your Saturday?
