Trip Saga, Day 7


Tomorrow is our last day at the Lake before we head to Washington D.C. When we leave for D.C., Granna and Poppa will head back to Northwest Arkansas, while Mim joins us for the rest of the trip.  I am exited to see the Capitol, but sad to leave the Lake. At least we will come back in a few years. (Side note: I got swimmers ear last night; it really hurts.)
We play at the lake for the last time, then head back to the Lake House on our bicycles, planning to spend another quiet afternoon relaxing. (Do you catch a hint of foreshadowing?) Anyway, we got back, and learned that Mom and Poppa had discovered a four or five inch deep water leak in the basement. Oh, no. We held a short conference and decided to evacuate now, opposed to in the morning like we had planned. We gathered up, cleaned up, went down to the lake and tidied up there, and left on the two-hour drive to Alexandria. Now, we are ready to see the sights, and explore the Capitol.
