Washington, DC

Well, we started off great this morning. We left camp by 8am, right on time, which doesn't happen too often. Grace, Justin, and Amy were very excited to get to DC and see Gary. We just had 509 miles to go! Poppa was in the zone and we were doing great, Lola (GPS) told us we would be there by 3:30 or so. About lunch time we stopped at an outlet and Poppa and Gramma went in and got some cigars while Amy, Justin, and Grace ate lunch. We then stopped for gas in North Carolina and Poppa comes back into the RV and asks Gramma to come outside so we knew something was up. Turns out that the front tire had a bubble and was set to blow out at any moment. Poppa got us to a rest stop and called his insurance and they told us they would have a guy out within an hour. It was more like an hour and a half but the changing of the tire was only suppose to take about 20 minutes. Well, that turned into about 6 1/2 hours total wait time in North Carolina. We ended up not getting into DC until almost midnight that night! At least we would have the next day with no driving as we were touring the city.
