Warrenton, VA (USA)

[left house at 0600 - errands (library, ATM, post office) before hitting I-495 - used I-66 and US-29 (new exit!) - drove to Warrenton to meet up with project team (arrived around 0700) - worked there until close to noon - drove to nearby Wegmans for lunch (1155) with everyone - left and met up with Kim (1300) at a Starbucks in Gainesville for my Executive Coaching session (in person for once) - then drove home (via I-66, I-495) - legal stuff at the house, packing for weekend with kids - problems with Nicky on the phone - left for Fort Belvoir (for hotel check-in) without knowing if the kids were coming - there from 1700 through 1830 alone - Erin showed up and we went to dinner at the Rice King Cafe (1915) on post - then she headed to a funeral home viewing for a school friend who passed away - a short time later, I learned that Nicky was at the hospital with Brenna down the street (!) and I drove over to find out what was happening - spent some time with them until I had to go back to meet Erin at the hotel - spent about an hour with her, talking - left to pick up Mollie (returning from field trip to Hershey Park) - on the way, stopped for gas (2230) when my car acted up again (fuel pump?) - arrived at the Middle School to parking lot chaos - Mollie arrived on the last bus and we drove back to Fort Belvoir, arriving just after midnight - got Erin and Mollie settled for bed and then read until 0100 (awaiting news about Brenna - got none) - finally fell asleep very late]
