So it turns out the MARC doesn’t run on federal holidays (or, at least, Veteran’s Day) but WRI doesn’t get this holiday off. So after visiting a very empty train station with the girls, I drove into DC this morning. Which wasn’t really that bad, but the parking garage under my building was locked. It was supposed to be open and available but someone at the security company didn’t get their dates right, so I parked up the street at Union Station.

Our weekend was good, although Finn started out with a fever and some throwing up on Saturday Morning. I drove up to Hereford with some friends to look at a Scout in a field, which was a lot rougher than the ad made it out to be. The seller had an unused 6-point rollbar in pieces to offer, which was tempting, but the price was too high for me right now.

On my return Finn was feeling better, so we did some shopping and ran some errands. Finn fell asleep in the car for a couple of hours which was probably a very good thing.

Sunday the weather was warm and sunny, so I took Finn up to the tire park to play while Mama got some important work done at the house. She spent most of her time on the tire swing, making new friends and delighting in letting everyone know she’d thrown up the day before. After watching the Ravens game, I took her over to the Coopers’ for some cocoa and to donate money to UNICEF; hopefully it will make its way to the people in the Philippines, which sounds like it got absolutely flattened this weekend. The Coopers were filming the fundraiser for a PBS bumper, so hopefully Finn may make her debut on camera sometime this fall.
