Day 5 Plus One

Wrapped up our last day through Illinois, West Virginia, VA, DC and finally into Maryland!
 Crossed Mississippi and Missouri rivers........

 Stopped at Tamarack Arts Center in WV to take a look at all the local artisans had to offer.  Mom and dad wanted to get this train for Nixon but alas it wouldn't fit in the trunk.






 Oh, how we loved Steak and Shake when we lived in Alabama so when we passed one on our way home I forced them to stop.  It didn't disappoint!  Nor did the gorgeous Shenandoah national park



 Phew!!!  We FINALLY arrived after giving mom and dad a taste of coming into town during rush hour traffic and spent the next day having down time.. just relaxing, swimming, and getting groceries at the base.  We also happened onto a car wash so rewarded the new car with a nice clean beginning since she did so well traveling across the US.
We also stopped to see if we could check out Air Force One.  The guard ran out from the his station and asked us to delete the photos.  I thought I did but apparently not as it showed up here.  Yikes. Hope mom doesn't go to jail.
