I was envisioning a deer and guts all over the front of the bus, so I was very happy to see just small dent in the front. Whew... Let's hope that never happens again.

A day and a half is nowhere near enough time to see DC, but we tried our best. On Saturday we took a break from the boat show and took the girls to the children's museum. On Monday we hit the ground running early to try to squeeze
