Jeff never went to summer school, but secretly he always thought it would be fun. Sure, he liked being out in the sun, playing like all the other kids, but inevitably summer got boring and he missed the cool, calculated routine of school. But you didn’t hear that from me…
Washington – Day 11 – Wicked
Jeff woke up this morning in a bit of a funk–his allergies had finally gotten the best of him. What he’s allergic to, we may never know, so let’s just assume it’s “freedom.” After popping some Claritin we were off to enjoy a day of artistic discovery at the National Art Gallery. Note, we finally… Continue reading Washington – Day 11 – Wicked
Washington Trip – Day 10 – Star Gazing
In previous trips Jeff has embarked upon, he oft finds the days begin to follow thematic lines, whether intentional or not. Today was exactly that type of day–from the first moment we should have known we were in for a good one. Why is that? Well, as we pull out of the parking garage we… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 10 – Star Gazing
Washington Trip – Day 6, 7, 8, 9 – Family Reunion
When originally planning this trip south, the whole idea was to spend some time in South Carolina so Jeff could see his relatives, who had organized a family reunion of sorts. It had been several years since Jeff had seen some of his aunts, uncles and cousins and he was excited to hang out on… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 6, 7, 8, 9 – Family Reunion
Washington Trip – Day 5 – American History X
Another day in misty Washington DC. After the roaring sun yesterday, the cool, misty morning was a welcome change. Unfortunately, with this cooler weather came the rain. As such, we kept pretty close to the hotel this morning, hitting some of the boutiques Clara had her eye on. After lunch, we set off for again… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 5 – American History X
Washington Trip – Day 4 – 500 miles
It’s hard to believe we’ve already been in the US for half a week. Quarter of the trip gone. With that lingering thought, Clara and Jeff set off on one of the most epic days ever attempted while on vacation, which would be too much for both Clara’s feet and Jeff’s wheelchair. Yes, this blog… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 4 – 500 miles
Strange Neighbours
Yep, even though we’re on vacation we still put together a new comic for you guys–is that love or what? Jeff flew solo on this one–did you catch the satire? Clara didn’t…read it again. Think…..history….. Speaking of which, have you ever noticed how Americans are all “DO IT OR I’LL SHOOT YOU” and Canadians are… Continue reading Strange Neighbours
Washington Trip – Day 3 – Patatas Bravas
Today was our first whole day in Washington DC and it promised to be an eventful one, given the whole 4th of July thing. Assuming that our day would be a little messy, we decided to spend some serious time plotting out our next few days and taking care of some procedural things, like getting… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 3 – Patatas Bravas
Washington Trip – Day 2 – 1789
Before we begin today, we have one tidbit of information to include from yesterday that somehow Jeff forgot to mention. So as dusk was setting in and energy was running slim, we realized we were quickly running out of gas and needed some American cash to pay for an upcoming toll road — they don’t… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 2 – 1789
Washington Trip — Day 1 — Ever get that feeling you’re about to drive to Washington?
That’s right gals and guys, it’s time again for another thrilling two weeks of travel blogging courtesy of Jeff and Clara. As you might remember, we blogged about our trip to Barcelona last summer, when Jeff went to meet Clara’s relatives and become a professional bull fighter. This time around, Clara is getting a taste… Continue reading Washington Trip — Day 1 — Ever get that feeling you’re about to drive to Washington?
