Woodbridge, VA (USA)

[I woke Mollie up at 0630 because I thought we were supposed to be at the Science Olympiad at 0800 - Mollie told me at that point that she’d received a text that the event had been moved to 0830 - after getting ready, Mollie ate breakfast - we then went to Walmart to buy some supplies - I decided to head to the school where the Science Olympiad was going to be held - this turned out to be a good thing because I thought it was the same place as last time but it wasn’t - when we arrived at the correct location (0800), the parking lot of W. T. Woodson High School was already full when we arrived - I dropped Mollie off after she gave me more details about the schedule for the day (including the lunch that was going to be provided) - I went home and worked around that house until Mollie was supposed to be done - because it started snowing, I left my apartment at 1545 (to get Mollie no later than 1630) and drove back to Fairfax - I picked Mollie up at 1620 (snow was much heavier) and we drove to Woodbridge - I’d planned to meet my friends, Sabrina and Greta, at the Brew Republic for a beer & donuts pairing but they couldn’t make it - instead, Kelly, Aidan and Mike joined us at around 1800 - Mollie ate dinner (shrimp po-boy sandwich and chips) and even shared some Duck Donuts with me (she discovered that she liked them after admitting she’d never tried them) - we stayed at the event until 1930 PM and then drove back to Alexandria - when we got home, we watched a movie (“The Glass Palace”) - Mollie went into her room to read her new book (for a newspaper book review article) at 2200 and we both went to sleep soon afterwards]
