See America 2008

Yes, we are aware that we could easily spend a week or more in the Williamsburg area seeing historical sites and amusement parks. However, our initial planning for this trip, we decided to focus only on Water Country USA. We were not disappointed. The park was packed on a Monday, but the weather was perfect - not too humid. I'm sure all would agree that the Hubba Hubba Highway (AKA a lazy river) was our favorite "ride."

We spent the whole day there, then headed for Washington around 6pm. We managed to pick up some Popeye's Chicken that we ate in the van on the way. We had the goal to turn in the van at National Airport by 9pm, and we just made it. We are staying at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Crystal City, a very nice conference hotel right next to the airport and the Metro.

Plan for tomorrow: The goal is to visit the rest of the monuments on the Mall that we didn't have time to see at the start of the trip. We also hope to see the Museum of Natural History. Our flight is not until 5:25, so we should have time. The other goal is to get home without any glitches in the air travel. Hopefully, tomorrow's entry will come from Richland.
