... to watch while we ate chips and salsa, then returned the DVD for another, which we watched later. Kelsey loved being able to cook dinner--and I mean beyond preparing microwave pasta dishes. She made ranch chicken and peas, and I did the dishes. Kinda like normal life :)<br><br>We're thankful for our little room in Candlewood. It'll be a nice home base for a while. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make some tea.

Today we had only a half day scheduled, and then I had to get on the plane and go back home. We ate at Square Cafe, which was polar opposite to Pamela's. I got the squash crepes and pumpkin chai latte...<br><br>Kevin, of course, found this whole thing detestable. He made fun of the vegetarian options loudly bellowing "BLECH" when he read that there were soy sausages on the menu. I find it funny that Dave quietly ordered them right after Kevin criticized that particular item.<br><br>If I had ...

... on my mind the day before and I had told a story just a few days prior of Barry flying his Mom in my helicopter. She had been a WAC and flown the B-26 bomber. Barry had flown his Mom in the Jet Ranger to meet a up with a B-26 and its crew down the coast from us in southern California.

Fortunately the people sitting on the bench had put it underneath, and were kind enough to give it back to us.

We walked back to the apartment just before a storm. I spent the rest of the night trying to force them to watch tv, or look at some of my pictures with limited success in both ventures ...

... the conventional mullet is long across the width of the back of the head, this young trend-setter only had it long down the middle. It was a bit like a rat's tail, only too wide - more like a horse's tail. After spending about an hour or so at the museum, where there were far too many kids to make it too enjoyable, we headed back through the Mall towards Union Station to get the bus back to the hotel. On the way through the park, Jay ...

... have been lucky to escape with our lives. We had some tea in the Taco Bell opposite the hotel before returning to our room. It was getting quite late by now, so we decided to watch TV for a short while before going to bed. Trading Places was on, but the amount of dubbing in it was shocking. Rather nervous about the sleeping arrangements, I affixed my chastity belt and settled down to sleep with one eye open.
