Wacky Trip To DC

I don't even know where to begin writing this and am laughing so hard as I try to do so! I had the wildest and wackiest trip to Washington, DC this past week! I know you won't get all the humor reading this as it was one of those "you had to be there" things, yet I feeeeeeeeeeeel you will still enjoy it.

Ok, so 3 women are in a car from Philly to DC... a 3 to 3 and 1/2 hour car ride. Imagine that they get lost after Baltimore and their navigation system is broken and keeps giving them wrong directions and saying we still have 5 more hours to drive, when we are within 60 minutes maximum. So, we ditch the navigation system and get close to DC. Now we find out we actually need to go to Arlington and get to Pentagon City. We keep missing the exits and pass Pentagon City over and over again. Now it is late and we are all laughing. We've had no food and have been in the car for over 4 and 1/2 hours already.

We finally take an exit that says Pentagon... once we get on the ramp, it actually says "Pentagon: Official Deliveries Only"... we come to the front of the Pentagon which is surrounded by barriers and police! We stop to look at the Pentagon and then decide we better take off before we get arrested!

Now we land in DC and are driving in circles around the monuments and at this point we just make turns any old place!

We finally get into Pentagon City and can't find the hotel. We go past where it is said to be, over and over and over again... Finally, 3 hysterical women, laughing and laughing see a few people walking. We stop them and ask them if they have seen the hotel around and they say, "we are tourists from Philly"!

Believe it or not, we got to the hotel (about 5 or 5 and 1/2 hours after we left Philly!!) and even better than that, we actually made it home!
