Washington, DC (USA)

I woke up early and picked up Mollie (0600) so we could get her DOD ID renewed.  I used I-495 to get to Branch Avenue (so we could take the Metro).  Along the way, Mollie realized she had forgotten her Metro Card...  Fortunately, I had another one and we got on the train at around 0630 and got off again at the Navy Yard station.  Mollie and I got breakfast at Bethesda Bagels and then walked to the entrance of the Navy Base.  We got on post pretty easily and walked across the property, arriving at the ID Card Office at 0730.  Our appointment was for about 30 minutes later but the nice people working there squeezed us in early.  After we got Mollie’s new card, we walked back across the base and then to the Metro Station.  After a quick Metro ride, we arrived back at my car (0815) and I drove Mollie back to Alexandria (0845).  We stopped at Nicky’s so Mollie could pick up some earrings and give me the cookie dough I’d bought during Mollie’s JROTC fundraiser.  I then drove Mollie to Edison and took her inside to check her in late (end of first period).  After I said goodbye to Mollie, I went home to telework.
