Farewell Party

I thought tonight would be a quiet time to finish packing so that I could leave here at 6 am.  I am in Annapolis, only about 20 minutes from BWI.
However, at 5pm, my son John, his about to be daughter Rachel and I piled in the car and headed to National Harbor.  My sister Geri and her family were there for Krista's volleyball tournament. It turned out to be a great last night, although I'll probably be up all night packing.

After an Italian dinner, we all rode the ferris wheel.  It was amazing to see DC, National Harbor, and MGM rom the sky.
A great last winter night with family.  Nothing better.

Up at 4 am, I was packed and anxious to go by 6. At the check-in counter, it took a half hour to explain the hazmat in my bag ( PFD cartridges) and for the attendant to find a HAZMAT sticker. Then off thru security, a great, empty flight, wonderful scenery from the plane, and we were in Costa Rico.
