Our second annual Christmas mini-break in DC with Allie, this one slowed down by my health, somewhat. Sunday, December 22 I dropped the girls off at 2:30pm for tea at the Tavern at the Henley Park Hotel. They reported that the tea was very pleasant and seemed to be all they needed. Good, because it …
A weekend in Boston to celebrate birthdays and help Allie get settled into her apartment on Irving Street in Beacon Hill. Friday, October 11 Our afternoon flight from BWI was scheduled to leave at 3:25pm but a nor’easter off the Massachusetts coast cut traffic into Logan and delayed us. We ended up flying almost 3 …

We see Allie in Boston then all head to Cape Cod and Nantucket for the week. Saturday, June 15, 2019 We had a 2:05pm Southwest flight from BWI to Boston, which proved to be a very civilized time. Barb had aerobics in the morning and we still had plenty of time to get to the …
Visiting Library of Congress and more during mini-break in DC while Barb attends her work conference. For years, and much against her wishes, Barb had to attend an annual three-day management conference in DC, which brought together HHS department heads from around the country. Each time, she complained bitterly about having to commute into town …
