Andy and Kelly joined us at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, Maryland, for a couple of nights. On Thursday they had a wonderful room in DC at Embassy Suites. I was sick and did not think we should join them there, but when we got there Friday morning my jaw dropped. I've never even seen a two-bedroom hotel suite (two totally separate rooms) much less one with a living room, kitchen area, two full bathrooms, and, get this, a DINING room. I'm still curious how Kelly earned the points to get the presidential suite, but if Andy can live with it, I sure can.
We did all the great things in Washington. It was Kelly's first trip, so I hope I just made her want to go back. The only problem any of us had is that there were so many students there. When I took school groups, I never noticed how many there were, but this time there were real crowds. And, if any teacher is reading this, I'm still ticked that no one told these students to be respectful at the Lincoln memorial. There is a sign that says, "Please be quiet and respectful". The students I saw there obviously couldn't read and neither could there teachers. Too bad.
From DC we went to an Outdoor World campground near Lancaster, PA. Larry got the crud while we are there and is still dealing with it. We did a little of the Amish things, but I am pushing to go back. We then moved up Manheim, and Larry really stayed in bed there. I went to a wine festival but didn't find anything worth fighting the crowds and price to buy. And having been burned at my cousin's on worthless wine, I was not about to let that happen again.
One night at a Wal-Mart and now we are at Hershey Thousand Trails. It is way out in the beautiful countryside. These farms are just unbelievable here.
