M, Mawmaw and I attempted to leave for DC at 7:39 on Thursday, July 24th, but on Wednesday, July 23rd I got a call that one leg of our trip - the flight had been cancelled and were now booked on a 12:45 flight and this made all of the trip delayed. Then, that 12:45 flight didn't leave until 3:00, so we got booked on an even later flight the next leg. By the time we flew, picked up our rental car and got to the hotel, it was 10:00 pm. My arm was killing me, but the day was finally over.
This morning, we ate breakfast and went to see Mawmaw's brother - which is the reason we are here. We visited with him - talked to him while he listened as he's not well and doesn't talk much. Then we went by Mawmaw's old house and took pictures of the remodel and the new construction on either side. A young lady was walking her dog and we explained what we were doing...turns out she lives in Mawmaw's house now and invited us in to see it. It is just beautiful inside. Nice hardwood floors and new kitchen cabinets and granite counter tops. Just beautiful. She didn't offer for us to go upstairs, so we didn't.
We ate lunch - pizza at a local place, went to the bookstore so M and Mawmaw could buy a new book, and then went to meet with the lawyer who is handling my uncle's "stuff". Then, we drove to the Metro station and took the train to Union Station where we had planned to take a moonlight tour of the monuments, but it was sold out. So, we made plans to do this on Sunday and ate dinner, window shopped, and came back to the hotel.
Now we are reading and relaxing...and that's all I can do with my wrist!
