The Red Line at Metro Center, Washington, DC.

Wall, South Dakota

We're back on the road today, leaving the DC area, leaving Maryland and encountering more toll roads....

R32Argent gave me a turn at the wheel of his Volkswagen R32 last night for "scenic route" trip to get some fuel. It took me a few minutes to get used to being in a small car again, but once I got comfortable it sure felt great to stretch my legs!

Hey! Racecomp Engineering is in Elkridge, Maryland! They made it a breeze for me to pick up Ver.2 Yellow Springs for the STI. I can't wait to install them. I even got a couple of stickers :0)

Here's an extra picture because I missed yesterday....

The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Chantilly, VA.

The infamous B-29 bomber, Enola Gay is on view here. Sixty-two years ago today, on August 6, 1945, this Martin-built B-29-MO dropped the first ever atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan.

Over 140,000 people, mostly civilians, were killed.

Find more information at The Official Homepage of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and take a virtual tour.

Typical traffic on the I-270 outside Washington, DC.

The one on the right :rolleyes: !

Black River Falls, Wisconsin

Near Chicago Junction, Wisconsin. I'm always surprised when I see riders in states without helmet laws.

On the I-76 in Pennsylvania.

Silver Spring, MD. I brought the Odyssey in for "Service B" on Tuesday.

We stopped at this Circuit City in Madison earlier this week to buy a new camera: a Sony DSC-N2 which was highly rated in Consumer Reports July '07 issue. It was on clearance so in short supply. We ended up getting the demo model for $100 off Sony's current MSRP.

This is the original, non-photochopped version of one of the pictures I posted yesterday.

Spotted this Toyota Prius on the I-90 near Lake Station, Indiana.

We've been in the DC area for a few days now mostly running errands and getting some shopping done--so not much time for a lot of pics. On Saturday we went to our third Kwik-E-Mart. We made it just in time, because all the Kwik-E-Marts will be changed back to regular 7-Eleven stores at the end of the month.



Two garage-mates finally meet and go out to a few places together! Here's my R32Argent's VW R32 parked next to our Odyssey:



To get here to DC we had to drive through some thunder storms and torrential rain:

We had two busy days of driving, so I'm behind a little. We didn't get to our hotel room until 10 PM last night because we made a couple of extra stops during the day, including this visit to the Kwik-E-Mart in Chicago.



TGIF will be posted tomorrow...does that make it TGIS?
