Laying low in DC - April 22nd


Unfortunately, Barbara over did it with her walking in DC yesterday, and her leg injury of last week is acting up. She needs to lay low for a while, so we decided to stay for an extra day here instead of exploring, and Delilah and I took the opportunity to do a little shopping, and play her first round of mini-golf, which she enjoyed. The little course is actually in the RV park we're at (still the expensive one), but nice place - great amenities and area, including the cherry trees blooming (must be a real mess on this course in late summer though!)

Really interesting how Delilah's little brain works - after dinner we were watching a little TV and there was a commercial with a portable putting green; she says "Remember when we played that today?" She is such a cute kid, a really great traveler. She has been so easily amused on the road - not one "are we there yet" and only an occasional statement of status - "I'm hungry - I want a snack please" or "Can we stop now, I want to get out". She got over her "night terrors" a few days ago, and now is just still fighting the "Cox Family Plague" - a random cough in the middle of the night. Other than that, we are really lucky with her - and so greatful to have her.

Tomorrow we will hit the road, head up to some smaller towns - which we have decided that we definitely prefer.

We had hopes of visiting with both some relatives out here, and also some friends, but between time, health, and other stuff going on, it just didn't happen. C'est la vie - perhaps another trip?
