Arlington, VA (USA)

[I woke Mollie up at 0630 and she ate breakfast (kolache) - Mollie and I talked again about how to ride the bus and she walked down to the stop near my house at 0705 - I waited nearby to make sure she got on without a problem (and texted with her to encourage her that she was doing well) - Mollie got on the bus (her first solo ride) at 0721 and got off 0728 (she sent update texts to me at each milestone) - I went into DC to work for the day - after work, I rode Metro to Pentagon City - had happy hour with Kevin F. at Sine - also saw Joe R. - after Kevin left (1745), I sat with Aaron W. (and his wife) - took Metro home and arrived at my house at 1900 - Mollie and I talked for a while - she then spent much of the evening studying but did come out to visit with me before she went to bed (2200)]
