Washington, DC (USA)

[I woke Mollie up at 0815 and we drove into DC to pick up breakfast (kolaches) at Republic Kolaches - there was a huge walk/run taking place on Pennsylvania Avenue so we parked near the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and walked to Hill Country - we got our food (including a free one) at around 0945 and ate at the restaurant; we walked back to our car and navigated the traffic maze (lots of closed roads), eventually reaching Alexandria again - we went to the Rose Hill Barber Shop and Mollie waited with me while I got a haircut and beard trim (1045) - we then went shopping at Giant and bought groceries and a Mother’s Day card for Nicky - when we made it home (1300), we cleaned up (dishes, trash, recycling) and late lunch (leftovers) - Mollie cooked cornbread and applesauce cake - she also watched a Redbox movie we’d picked up (“Thor: Ragnarrok”) - meanwhile, I took a nap - at 1700, we drove over to 7-Eleven to return the Redbox movie - we ate a light dinner (leftovers) at around 1800 and Mollie studied in her room for several hours - she came out to see me at around 2200 (and to make her lunch for school because she planned to stay at my house longer) - Mollie went to bed at 2230]
