A while back I got a call from Ken and he asked me where I thought the next Goodyear National Convention was taking place. I asked him if it was Alexandria, VA and he said no. He did say they would be meeting at the National Harbor which for any of you who have looked out our window towards the Potomac River - well, the National Harbor is just across the river and we see it very clearly. Well arrangements were made and we picked them up on our way home from work at Reagan airport - rode the metro to the Huntington station - then boarded our shuttle bus to our apartment. The next five days were a blurr on many levels as we packed in all the sight seeing you could imagine and indulged on a variety of fine foods and drinks.
We introduced them to President Obama.

Made it to the Hard rock Cafe.
Of course we took them to all the sights on the National Mall.
Found a nice spot to replenish our dehydrated bodies.
Took Ken and Nancy to the fish market.

By Sunday Feb. 1 (Superbowl Sunday), Cindy and I needed our rest so we took them over to the National Harbor so they could begin their convention. Did I mention that Ken and Nancy took off for Florida after the convention? Oh how it would be nice to be young again. We had a great time with our good friends and certainly hope they visit us again before we move back to South Dakota.
