We had a quiet breakfast at the condo, packed our things and cleaned up. Then it was time to head for the airport. We did our usual thing with easy check in since we had already done that on line the night before and no bags to check. So all we needed to do was scout around for something good to buy for lunch. We found great sandwiches again and we were off.
When we got to Washington Dulles, we rented a car. Papa thought it would be fun to rent a Mustang and we did (bright orange!) with a good deal. We had “Jack” with us (our GPS) and he took us straight to Papa’s cousin’s house. They hadn’t seen each other in 25 years, so they had a lot to catch up on. We were very warmly received and had a wonderful dinner with them, talking and looking at old family pictures and mementos.
Nonna had “met” Papa’s cousin through emails and it was fun to actually meet. She ‘s married and has a high school age daughter. Through emails, she had invited us to stay at their house during our visit to Washington and we very gratefully accepted.
