I could be grading. I could be cleaning. I could definitely be folding laundry. I should be sleeping and resting, but Kwame sent me excellent seats for Acoustic Rooster and the "Barnyard Boogie" and I knew I needed to make a field trip out of it. Silly me, when I took the tickets in, I thought it was in NYC. Nope. It's at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, so Abu, Lossine, Chitunga, William, Jessica and I are staying right next to the Capitol building. Back when we used to lobby for NWP, we stayed in this area all the time. I know the good restaurants, the sites to see, and the streets to walk.
Ah, but I shouldn't be walking in a boot, that's for sure.
And the traffic wasn't horrendous until we went from Annapolis to DC. The sun was shining in all our eyes and it was stop and go. We also saw a terrible accident, where a man cut over three lanes and caused a pile up. It made me extra cautious to drive smart and to be logical in how we proceeded forward.
For me, the scariest part fo the drive was going over the Severne River where they were flashing signs that tractor trailers were not permitted because the winds were too high and they were afraid they'd tip the trucks over. That's not fun to read when you' heading so high up in the air. Not a big bridge fan, actually.
We have the show at 11, and then will drive back slowly and safely. Phew. We live once and need to take advantage of opportunities that come out way.
And I'm looking forward to seeing the Kwamster's. Cockledoodledoo! Ribbit Ribbit!
