Cape Cod Trip - Day 15

Got up early so we could enjoy some more time with Pat, Mike, Aileen, Alanna and Rory. Went to a nearby playground before saying goodbye. It was a nice visit. Parked at a nearby Metro station and took the train into Washington. [it was raining ?] We met up with John, Ann, Mary, Leo, Joy and the kids near the Capitol Building. John knows someone who helped us get a special tour - it was really interesting! The behind the scenes opportunity was great - we saw several important folks and sat in the gallery of the Senate chamber. It was also nice to visit with everyone - and the kids had fun with their cousins. After several hours walking around DC, we said goodbye to everyone and got back on the train. Once we were in our car again, we took I-66 to I-81. Gas near Front Royal, Virginia, around 1615L. Stopped for dinner at Burger King in Mount Jackson (1650L). Stopped in Wytheville for the night (Motel 6).
