Ramada Inn Washington

We are having a wonderful stay here in Western Pennsylvania! We decided to make the long 6-hr drive across the state all in one sitting on Friday night. We've booked three nights here at Candlewood Suites. And, in fact, due to a changed schedule, it's both possible and advantageous for us to stay here an additional two nights, so that gives us five nights here in this suite.<br>We stayed at a Candlewood the weekend ...

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 ...

... train tickets now cost double that of the bus and when we found out the bus had free internet the decision was made. After the usual struggle of dragging luggage on and off the subway we arrived at the bus departure point and arrived in Washington a few hours later. Inge-Marie the darling she is had arranged some great accommodation on F street (most streets in Washington are either letters or numbers) only a few blocks from the White House and just down the ...

The dang thing, only islocated, now refuses to bend. So my doc assigned me to physical therapy, for a finger. So I went, and everyone else is either a top athlete getting his knee back to fitness after an ACL or some 85 year old granny rehabbing her hip after she fell in the ladies room at Starbucks ...

... hundred bikers under police escort. There must have been some sort of biker event in town, as there were a diverse mixture of gangs - we spotted the Blue Knights, the Road Dogs and the Wild Pigs (including their Road Captain), but our friends the Aces and Eights were nowhere to be seen. Throughout the day, as we walked around, we encountered quite a few of them, strolling around in small groups and proudly displaying their beards and sew-on patches. We walked up the steps at ...
