The long drive home...

Saturday morning we got up and started the long trip home to Michigan. The last view of the city was from a scenic outlook along George Washington Memorial Parkway. It was a bittersweet moment as so much happened in 8 weeks- there were good times and bad, but mostly all good. Believe it or not, even with all of the working throughout the summer, this was one of the funnest and most relaxing 8 weeks I have had. There was always something exciting to do and somewhere to go.

Shortly into our drive we stopped at Great Falls Park to see some of the scenery. Pictures will come soon! It was beautiful, but extremely HOT and steamy...

We got back on the road and stopped in Hagerstown at the huge outlet mall for lunch and shopping for a few hours. We drove a few more hours before stopping for the evening in Monroeville, Pennsylvania where there was another huge mall. We looked around a little and had a nice dinner before calling it a fairly early night (at least compared to the last 8 weeks).

Sunday morning we got up and stopped next door to our hotel at a toy and collectible show that was going on before hitting the road. We drove the rest of the way home and got back to Battle Creek around 7pm, thus officially concluding my Washington, D.C. summer adventures. :(
