Washington, DC (USA)

I went to work very early and Mollie stayed at my apartment.  She had made plans to meet up with her friends in DC to visit museums and tour monuments (she’d also coordinated a ride).  Because I was unsure of her exact plans, I texted with Mollie throughout the day.  At 1145, she was on her way into DC on the Metro (she told me later that she’d encountered a pushy panhandler but had "escaped" him).  Mollie met up with her friends and visited the Air and Space Museum (they also got lunch).  At about 1400, it occurred to me that she might need a ride home so I checked on her plans.  She replied that she’d be ready to go home at 1545.  Since this was about the time I was going to wrap up my work day, I made arrangements to meet her at Plan B for happy hour.  She arrived just after I sat down and joined me at one of the high-top tables.  We ate a light dinner (sliders) and then got on the Metro to return to Huntington.  On the way home, we went grocery shopping and were back at my apartment by 1745.
