Washington and more tires!

Our final days of touring around Washington took us to the Zoo, the White House, Madame Tussaud's and Mt. Vernon, which was the home of George Washington.  We had some really nice weather in Washington which was a great break from all the rain we have been having.  It was nice to be able to go out in T-shirts and shorts, finally.
We had a run of bad luck after leaving Washington, however!  We blew out a tire south of Fredricksburg, Virginia, and then before we could make it to Richmond to buy another spare, we blew out another tire!  We were all safe  (because David is such an awesome driver!) but it did cause us a bit of stress, and a lot of time!!!
After we got our tires all replaced and were back on the road, we had a problem with an engine part, so we had to make another stop at Dodge Dealership.   
Hopefully, that bit of bad luck has run it's course!  We had been headed to Myrtle Beach for a couple of days, but had to scrub that idea to make up some time.  We have tickets to see the Shuttle Launch in Cape Canaveral and certainly don't want to miss that!

  1. I have been keeping up with your blogs - and am envious, envious, envious! Am so glad that you are seeing so much, and keeping journals, so you don't forget, or have it all "mashed" together in your minds forever. Can't believe the tire problems you are having! Sounds as though you are enjoying the trailer - isn't it a great way to travel? Its getting quite cool here today, but the weather has really been quite remarkable for this time of year, and is supposed to get warmer again next week. Hope Fla. is good for you - will continue to follow your trip with great interest. Sandy

  2. Hey! I already emailed you on this little adventure, but I wanted to comment on the previous blogs (as I can't get into the comment field for some reason).

    First I wanted to congratulate the MacGregors for saving America!! Great job!! Rianna and Sean look very natural as politicians (how scary!!)

    Anyway...it is shocking to see how so many Americans still look down upon their citizens....have they learned nothing!!
