Manassas, VA (USA)

[I teleworked in the morning - Mollie woke up at 0930 and ate breakfast - at 1000, I left to go test drive a car at Brown's Subaru in Manassas (used back roads to reach VA-234) - meanwhile, Mollie got picked up by the parents of her friend so they could go to the zoo (1200) - after test driving the 2019 Outback (sweet!), I decided I was very interested - however, I told them I wanted to think about it a bit longer (I actually had another test drive scheduled) so I left for Alexandria at 1245 - I drove to I-66, thinking it would be faster, but ended up in a traffic jam - decided to call the other dealer and reschedule the test drive so I could resume my work day - I finally made it home by 1330 and teleworked all afternoon - Mollie and I talked on the phone a little later and I told her about the cool car I test drove - she told me about the zoo animals and the membership discount she got from using my card - at 1700, she texted that she was on her way home and she arrived about an hour later - Mollie cooked dinner (chili with beans, cornbread muffins) and we ate together - I'd been planning to go test drive the other Subaru in Springfield at around 1900 but I decided I didn't need to do it - after talking with the nice dealer representative, I felt confident in my impending car purchase (the first in 16 years!)]
