VA Trip

We're back (^_^) June 19th was the last day of school and Finn only had a 4-hour session so they were dismissed at 12.30pm. My mom, Finn and I left shortly after 1pm to drive to VA, and got there around 5.15pm, with no stops at all. I asked my passengers if they wanted to stop along the way but they kept saying no, so I didn't. Oh, if you're wondering where Jojo is, he went to VA on the 15th coz his training started on the 16th, and ran for 2 weeks. That's why we went there, free stay at the hotel and a chance to just relax, not worrying about chores and food (^_^)
We stayed at the Sheraton Reston Hotel and our room is on the 6th floor. Breakfast is not complimentary but there is a Club Lounge on our floor with free breakfast (bread, pastries, pancakes, coffee, milk, juice, soda, fruits) and cocktails (beer, wine, soda, juice, shrimp/mussels, fruits). We just leave a tip for the attendant there. Finn made a friend with the morning attendant. She kept giving him a present (cereal bars most of the time and a chocolate bar once) when he finishes his breakfast and the morning we left, she gave him a banana and 4 cereal bars (^_^) She even asked for a hug which Finn obliged.
If Finn isn't swimming in the pool, we're at the lobby where there are 5 computers for use of the guests. There's internet access in the rooms but they'll charge you so we just use the computers in the lobby .. they're free.
We would also go to the Reston Town Center, usually for dinner. There's a free shuttle from the hotel to anywhere within 2 miles, which includes the town center, so we took advantage of that as well (saves us from wasting our gas). One time though, we drove to http://www.shoptysons.com/, about 7 miles away, for a change of scenery.
My old friend, Melissa, took us to Glen Echo Park one time, and to the National Zoo in Washington, DC another day. We had fun at both places and we wouldn't have been able to go there if not for her.
We left VA yesterday at 10am, stopped for lunch, and got home at 3.15pm. There was heavy traffic at a few places so our trip took longer on the way home. Jojo left rigth after their training, at around 12pm and wasn't home until after 5pm. Was too tired to blog yesterday, and it's only now that I was able to upload some photos. Hopefully I'll be able to edit my other photos for you to see as well. Enjoy (^_^)
