“Here rests in Honored Glory an American Solider known but to God” 2205hrs

Long day… first off, the “good”… took the groupd to Arlington National Cemetery today… was able to park right there which gave me time / ability to go in too… had really wanted and I’m so glad I did.  I wish I had more time to visit more and pay my full respects to my fellow Veterans… but time was short… hiked the mile or so up to the Tomb Of The Unknowns…

(more pics after the jump)

Got done there… back to Union Station for lunch, then dropped them off at the Air & Space Museum… which I could have gone in there too…but parking is a bitch there…right on “The Mall” with Washington’s Monument so no go.

Picked them up at 1430 to head to New Jersey… was told it “should only be a couple of hours”… WRONG… Four and a half hours later….  On top of that… 30 minutes into the trip of the chaperone’s on-board plugged his laptop into my inverter…the one that runs the TV’s and DVD player?  Yeah… I think he zapped it or something as it’s not working anymore… so NO MOVIE for that four and a half hours!!!

Got to the hotel here in Somerset, NJ… back my fucking bus into a goddamn pine tree!

Oh yeah… that was after I got black nasty grease on my good white shirt today friggin with the damn luggage compartment doors (underneath) that don’t work for shit!)…

Then for a little icing on the cake…this is damn smoke free hotel!  No smoking rooms in the building… THAT pissed me off!

<sigh>

Anyways… check out the photos… going to NYC in the morning…wish me luck!
