Washington DC

We bid a very fond farewell to Mimi (headed home to Birmingham) and to London!!  But boy did we do it in style!! We flew home upper class on Virgin Atlantic.. Their lounge at Heathrow is phenomenal!! We had Eggs Benedict (delicious) and a variety of other tasty treats, all for free.  There is a billiard table in the lounge and even a small tennis court!  This is the lounge you want to be stuck in if you have a long delay!  You could live in this lounge quite happily for a few days!!!

The plane was equally nice and very empty so we basically had the run of the upper class cabin!  We all proclaimed it our nicest ever flight... We arrived in Washington, retrieved all our luggage and checked in at the fantastic Hays Adams hotel.  We overlook the Washington Monument and the Hotel is located on the Mall.  In fact, Bill and Grant are out walking the city trying to avoid the frequent rain showers that are coming through. The rest of us are headed to bed in varying stages. Annette and Gaby fell first, followed by Duffy and then Trey.  I'll probably be next followed by Bill and Grant bringing up the rear!  We have a full day of touring tomorrow!!  Not many photos tonight, but enough to give you the flavor of our flight day!  Lots tomorrow!!

Night everyone !
