Karen’s niece Liz is a sophmore at American University in Washington, D.C.. She is attending on a volleyball scholarship and whenever time permits, we like to catch a few games during the season. We checked the schedule and we saw that there was a pre-season tournament in Washington. We decided that we should go since we could see some volleyball and we could do some site seeing. We went to the library and got lots of books on Washington. All the books said that you should spend at least 3 days seeing the sites. We only had 1 day … this trip would be the speed demon’s guide to Washington, D.C.
We left Thursday around 4pm and headed towards the border. We always cross at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie because we’ve never had any problems there. We arrived at the bridge and to our surprise, there was no line. This was the first time ever that we were able to drive right up to a booth. We called ahead to the Cracker Barrel in Erie, Pennsylvania and ordered our dinners. Since it’s Thursday, that means it’s turkey with dressing. We got to the restaurant, picked up our dinners and headed back on the highway. Our stop for the night was the Econo Lodge in Breezewood, Pennsylvania which would put us about 2 hours away from Washington.
