Well, we have had some whirlwind adventure so far ....the bus ride was FOREVER on Tuesday. In spite of numerous activities planned by the QBT planners, including 3 meals delivered to us on site, games, singing, drawings for door prizes, gift certificates, 2 quilt shops on Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday, touring the White House today ...highly over rated and now we are resting comfortably at a great hotel....our hotel last night was a HORROR movie. Deb, Julie and I had a horrendous experience....we will be happy to share this story with you in person...you must see in person the graphic representation; just suffice to say that Julie and I had a tough time sleeping...Deb can sleep through anything.
Debbie speaks:Even though we got up about 3:30 AM yesterday morning, we managed to have the energy to go to 2 quilt shops, spend some money and contribute to the economy, and have fun on our 10 hour bus ride! We went to 2 more shops today as well as our White House tour and great crab cakes for lunch. We are going back to Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow morning at 8:00. We've decided to get some "street" food-aka hot dogs-for lunch so that we'll have some time to go to the WWII and Korean War monuments before we get back on the bus and go to Jinny Byer. Tomorrow night it's bon appétit at The Cracker Barrel and then on to our hotel. We've got more quilt shops on Friday and then we're shopping all the way home through Ohio and Indiana. What a way to go! It's still too early to tell who will win the prize for the most money spent, but Julie's got to be in the running. Having some trouble uploading our daily pics, but perhaps tomorrow night we'll have better luck. Stay tuned for more news and photos of our patriotic bus complete with Japanese red, white, and blue lanterns.
