Regarding car overheating and views of the rain
Last weekend we headed up to New York and New Jersey to visit Alejandra and Aly's friend Danielle. It was a great weekend up until the point where our car overheated in heavy traffic on I-95 near the Delaware-Maryland border. Two hours of waiting for a tow truck ensued, followed by a two-hour drive with a very chatty driver to our mechanic in Alexandria, Va. Not the best way to end a trip, but it was yet another adventure for Team Rob & Aly.
I'm pretty excited today because it's supposed to rain in the evening. The biggest thing I dislike about our condo is that we don't have a view of the sky-I loved to go to the window during a storm and look out at the dark clouds, swaying trees, and the people running for cover on the street below. Growing up in the Midwest ensured that a window to the changeable sky is, for me, an essential part of an abode. Until we find our next place, though, I'll have to watch storms from my window at work-not a bad thing, since I have a great view of the Potomac and the Key Bridge from here.
While exploring the Car Barn (my office building) a few weeks ago, I found a walkway that led to the river-facing side of the building. I'll just say that it's pretty cool looking out over the river and the bridge from behind the pointed ears of a stone gargoyle. Here's the view.
Hope you're all doing well, folks.
