Veggie trip to DC
Over April vacation, Billy and I decided to go on “Veggie Trip 2008″.We packed the car full of vegetable oil, some clothes, and the pups.
Our first stop was the Connor’s in Massachusetts. We left the dogs with them… more on that later (apparently it didn’t go well). Next stop - Nikki and Scott’s in PA. They have a crazy 70’s house set back in the woods. Billy says it has 37 thermostats to run their electric heat and a sweet built-in music/intercom system. Billy was in love.
Next stop, D.C. - Got to check out Reston. Went to town center and saw LOTS of people with great big “car pool mom sunglasses.” We didn’t fit in so good, but lunch with my folks was yummy.
We spent the next couple days hanging out with Dom and Tania. They’ve been fixing up a row house and it’s looking pretty fine these days. Dom can mow his lawn in 40 seconds, Billy was jealous. The Turano’s were nice enough to treat us to some Chris Rock tickets one night. He made fun of us, but it was O.K. b/c he made fun of everyone. Tania’s got a sweet new 5 series Beemer that she likes to rally around D.C. Dom tries to tell her which way to go, but we think maybe that makes her mad and then she goes really fast (sometimes I was scared and Billy had to hang his fingers out the window).
The trip went flawlessly, with the exception of puppy daycare. Matty, Goose and Berkshire are longer on speaking terms. Apparently, Goose spent her 3 days at the Connor’s barking at Matty and Berkshire spent it trying to eat the plasma television. Oh no!
We saved $250 on fuel and all accommodations were free… Thanks to everyone who took care of us (including the Maine Diner) And of course… Thanks veggie car!
